The Country of Paradoxia has four states A, B, C, D with populations as follows. A B C D Total Pi 173 184 26 17 400 They use Hamilton's Method to allocate 40 seats in the Paradoxian Congress. a) Compute standard quotas, lower quotas, and the final seat allocation ac- cording to Hamilton's Method (you should not need a calculator for this). b) Now they decide to increase the number of seats in Congress to 41. All populations stay the same. Do Hamilton's Method again to find the new ap- portionment. Use at least two digits after the decimal point for the Standard Divisor. Which State will not like the result - how is this an example of the Bama Paradox? The Country of Paradoxia has four states A, B, C, D with populations as follows.
