Answer:
Seats Received
Adams : 5
Grant. : 5
Colton : 2
Davis. : 10
Hayes : 11 or 10
(For Hayes, the answer is 11 but that's one more than available seats so I'm not sure. Must have made a miscalculation.)
Step-by-step explanation:
GM - Geometric Mean
IA - Initial Allocation
1. Calculate the Divisor:
Total Population ÷ Seats
2. Calculate the Quota:
Country's Population ÷ Divisor
3. Find Lower Quota:
Rounding down all Quotas
4. Geometric Mean:
In this case Lower Quota= n
therefore to calculate GM use this formula
squareroot of n(n+1)
sorry, don't have a squareroot symbol on my keyboard but you can check out the picture I posted.
5. Find the Initial Allocation:
Initial Allocation is the Seats Received
If Quota > Geometric Mean then Round Up
If Quota < Geometric Mean then Round Down
6. Check your Seats Received/ Initial Allocation:
Check IA/ Seats Received by adding them together.
The sum of all Seats Received/ IA MUST = 32 seats because there are only 32 seats available.
But when I add them add I get 33... not sure why. Can't find my mistake but I hope this will help you.
