Sum of lower quotas=410

435-410=25

25 seats left to apportion

25=y

Part A

Determine the range of possible Dean, Hill, and Webster critical divisors that would result in the correct apportionments. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth

Your answers should be in the below form for each of Dean, Hill, and Webster:

xdy

x= (y+1)th largest

y= yth largest

In order to find range of critical divisor:

1. get sum of lower quotas

2. determine number of seats left to apportion

3. find out yth largest and (y+1)th largest

4. give ranges of critical divisors for each method

i added what i think is right but i'm not sure
