Suppose a third state, C, is added along with 5 more seats. Use Hamilton's Method to determine the number of legislative seats for each state. State you answer in a full sentence. State A B C Total Population 4,862 50,138 5,940 60940 Standard deviation: std. dev. = 60940 / 60 = 1015.67 State A B C Population 4,862 50,138 5,940 Standard Quota 4.787 49.365 5.848 Lower Quota 4 49 5 Hamilton's Apportionment 5 49 6 Does the New-State Paradox occur? Explain. State you answer in a full sentence. yes a New-state paradox occurs because one seat from state B is lost and given to state C, leaving B with 49 and C with 6 of 60. All the while state A's seat remained at 5.
