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
