QUESTION 13
For a given set of populations and house sizes, different methods of apportionment may lead to different apportionments.
True
False
Consider the apportionment problem for College Town.
North : 5,500 , South : 4,500 , East : 7,600, West : 7,400
Suppose each council member is to represent approximately 2,100 citizens. Use Jefferson's plan assuming there must be 10 representatives.
For items 8-10, given the 5 states and 250 seats. The population of each state is
provided.
State
D
E
Population
250
875
4700
3825
350
8. Under Hamilton's Method the apportionment to each state is
a. A = 6; B = 22; C = 117; D = 96; E = 9
b. A = 6; B = 22; C = 118; D = 96; E = 8
c. A = 7; B = 22; C = 117; D = 95; E = 9
d. A = 6; B = 23; C = 116; D = 96; E = 9
9. Under Jefferson's Method the apportionment to each state is
a. A = 6; B = 22; C = 117; D = 96; E = 9
b. A = 6; B = 22; C = 118; D = 96; E = 8
c. A= 7; B = 22; C = 117; D = 95; E = 9
d. A = 6; B = 23; C = 116; D = 96; E = 9
10. Under Webster's Method the apportionment to each state is
a. A = 6; B = 22; C = 117; D = 96; E = 9
b. A = 6; B = 22; C = 118; D = 96; E = 8
c. A = 7; B = 22; C = 117; D= 95; E = 9
d. A = 6; B = 23; C = 116; D = 96; E = 9
