Question

table of results using the standard divisor (480):
\

$$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \\hline district & miston & northpond & greenwood & greyald \\\\ \\hline size (in acres) & 9465 & 7970 & 8470 & 14,415 \\\\ quota & 19.719 & 16.604 & 17.646 & 30.031 \\\\ lower quota & 19 & 16 & 17 & 30 \\\\ rounded quota & 20 & 17 & 18 & 30 \\\\ upper quota & 20 & 17 & 18 & 31 \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

using adams method, he found that he needed to use a modified divisor of 498 to allocate all the towers. use this information to determine how the 84 towers are allocated when using adams method.

you may use the apportionment tool to help you. to do this, turn on the apportionment tool, enter a divisor, and click on \compute\. you will then see the quota, the lower quota, the rounded quota (to the nearest whole number), and the upper quota for each district. you may also click on active cells to fill in the bottom row.

table of results using the modified divisor (498):

\

$$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \\hline district & miston & northpond & greenwood & greyald & total \\\\ \\hline size (in acres) & 9465 & 7970 & 8470 & 14,415 & 40,320 \\\\ number of towers & & & & & 0 \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

note: if the standard divisor is used to generate the values in the table, then the values displayed are standard quotas, lower quotas, rounded quotas, and upper quotas. similarly, if a modified divisor is used to generate the values in the table, then the values displayed are modified quotas, modified lower quotas, modified rounded quotas, and modified upper quotas.

(b) does the allocation of towers using adams method satisfy the quota rule?

Explanation:

Calculate modified quotas and upper quotas

Evaluate the quota rule

Using the Adams Method and Apportionment knowledge points

$$
LATEXBLOCK2
$$

Answer:

Question 1

District	Miston	Northpond	Greenwood	Greyald	Total

Question 2

No, because Greyald's allocation of 29 towers is less than its lower quota of 30.
