Suppose 5 seats will be apportioned to three states, A, B, and C, with populations of 525, 610, and 650, respectively, according to Jefferson’s method.

a. Find the total population, the standard divisor, and the standard quotas. Do the integer parts of the standard quotas add up to the number of available seats?

b. A modified divisor must be created. How will the modified divisor compare with the standard divisor? Select a modified divisor and explain the rationale behind the selection.

c. Fill in the following table using the given modified divisors.

d. How should the 5 seats be apportioned to the states?
