State Representation. The following table shows the 2010 populations of four states and their numbers of seats in the House of Representatives. Find the standard quota for each state and compare it to the actual number of seats for the state. Then explain whether the state is relatively under-space or overrepresented in the House. Assume a total you U.S. population of 309 million in 2010 and 435 House seats.

15.Connecticut

17.Florida.

The answer for Connecticut is: 5.03; Represented fairly very slightly underrepresented)

The answer for Florida is: 26.47; overrepresented

I am attaching the table and an example on how to resolve the problem Please watch grammar, spelling, and short answer will do. This is from my math book Understanding Mathematics.

EXAMPLE 2 Finding Standard Quotas IX The 2010 census found populations of 989,000 for Montana and 564,000 for Wyoming. Using these census populations, find the standard quota for each state. The 2010 appor- tionment left each of these states with the constitutional minimum of one representa- tive. Compare their standard quotas to their actual representations. Solution The standard divisor is the same for all states. As we found earlier, it is 710,000 people per representative. For Montana, the standard quota based on its 2010 population is state population 989,000 standard quota = ~ 1.4 standard divisor 710,000 For Wyoming, the standard quota is state population 564,000 standard quota = - = 0.79 standard divisor 710,000 Montana's standard quota is 1.4, but it has only one representative. Montana's people can rightfully feel underrepresented in Congress. Wyoming also has the constitutional minimum of one representative, even though its standard quota is only 0.79. Wyoming's people are relatively overrepresented in Congress, at least according to population.State Population House seats Connecticut 3,574,097 5 Georgia 9,687,653 14 Florida 18,801,310 27 Ohio 11,353,140 16
