A country with three states has 24 seats in the national assembly. The current populations of the states are as follows:

For the population totals from the previous problem, use Hamilton’s method to apportion 25 seats. Compare the results to the apportionment from problem 7(b). Does the population paradox arise in this case? Explain.

Problem 7:

a. Apportion the 24 assembly seats using Hamilton’s method.

b. Suppose the national assembly voted to add a seat. Reapportion the 25 assembly seats using Hamilton’s method.

Problem 11:

Suppose that 10 years from now the states have the following populations.

a. Use Hamilton’s method to apportion 24 national assembly seats.

b. Compare the apportionment from part (a) to the apportionment from problem 7(a). Does the population paradox arise in this case? Explain.
