    The document outlines the calculations for allocating 40 electors among the grades and faculty/staff at Whitfield's school based on population, similar to the electoral college. The number of electors for each group is determined by taking the population and dividing by the standard divisor of 11.7 people per elector. The resulting quotas are then rounded to the nearest whole number using the geometric mean to determine the number of electors allocated to each group. In total, 40 electors are allocated among the 6th-12th grades and faculty/staff based on their relative populations.

    WHITFIELDS ELECTION 2012-2013

    Discrete Math Class: 2013

    THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE


    538 Representatives Not Fully Democratic (not one-person, onevote) Based upon a Republic; Federal represents states, not people directly. Number of electors is determined through a mathematical process called Apportionment

    CALCULATIONS
    Number of students in each grade + Faculty/Staff = 468 Number of electors = 40 Standard divisor: 468 = 11.7 people per elector 40 Standard quotas = Pop. Each Grade Level + Faculty/Staff Standard Divisor (11.7)

    CALCULATIONS (CONTINUED)
    *Round the quotas using Geometric Mean Ex: The Geometric Mean of 4 and 5 = Square root of 4 x 5 = 4.472 If quota is above 4.472 the it goes to 5.0, if below to 4.0.

    ELECTORS FOR THE 6TH GRADE


    25 students 11.7 (standard divisor) Quota = 2.13 Geometric mean = 2.449 Electors for 6th Grade = 2

    ELECTORS FOR THE 7TH GRADE


    49 Students 11.7 (Standard Divisor Quota = 4.18 Geometric mean = 4.472 Electors for the 7th Grade = 4

    ELECTORS FOR THE 8TH GRADE


    52 Students 11.7 Quota = 4.44 Geometric mean = 4.47 Electors for the 8th Grade = 4

    ELECTORS FOR THE 9TH GRADE


    70 Students 11.7 Quota = 5.98 Geometric mean = 5.47 Electors for the 9th Grade = 6

    ELECTORS FOR THE 10TH GRADE


    59 Students 11.7 Quota = 5.04 Geometric mean = 5.47 Electors for the 10th Grade = 5

    ELECTORS FOR THE 11TH GRADE


    67 Students 11.7 Quota = 5.72 Geometric mean = 5.47 Electors for the 11th Grade = 6

    ELECTORS FOR THE 12TH GRADE


    56 Students 11.7 Quota = 4.78 Geometric mean = 4.47 Electors for the 12th Grade = 5

    ELECTORS FOR THE FACULTY/STAFF


    90 people 11.7 Quota = 7.69 Geometric mean = 7.47 Electors for the Faculty/Staff = 8
