The house size is 24 seats. When the population of State A increases by 28 percent, State B increases by 26 percent, and State C increases by 15 percent, the standard quotas change from A 3.38, B 6.32, and C 14.30 to \(A\) 3.63, B 6.67, and C 13.71 .

a. How did the change in populations impact the apportionment?

b. Is this apportionment an example of a paradox? Justify your answer.
