APPORTIONMENT

Question 1

STANDARD DIVISOR

Answer 1

𝐷=(𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)/(𝑛𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒)=𝑁/𝑅

Question 2

Standard quota

Answer 2

𝑄=(𝑠𝑢𝑏−𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)/(𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟)=𝑛/𝐷

Question 3

APPORTIONEMENT PRINCIPLE

Answer 3

R= A/C

C= subgroup/no. of representative

where:
R = is relative unfairness of apportinment
A = absolute unfairness of apportionement = /C1-C2/
C = average population of the sub-group receiving the new representative
