M5 - Lesson 1 Check-in Activity

Allocate 25 seats for five states whose populations are 12576, 13146,
14105, 13578, and 12986 respectively using

 1. The Hamilton Method

Exact | Lower | Fractional| Surplus | Hamilton App.|

Quota | Quota | Part | |
12576 | 4.73558 | 4 | 0.73558 | Third +1 | 5 |
13146 | 4.95022 | 4 | 0.95022 | First +1 | 5 |
14105 | 5.31134 | 5 | 0.31134 | | 5 |
13578 | 5.11289 | 5 | 0.11289 | | 5 |
12986 | 4.88997 | 4 | 0.88997 |Second+1 | 5 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66391 | ≈25 | 22 | 3 | 3 | 25 |

66391 ÷ 25 = 2,655.64
Standard Divisor : 2,655.64
Compute for Exact Quota:

12576 ÷ 2,655.64 = 4.73558

13146 ÷2,655.64 =4.95022
14105 ÷2,655.64 =5.31134
13578 ÷2,655.64 =5.11289
12986 ÷2,655.64 =4.88997

Lower Quota: Remove all the decimals

Surplus : There are 3 remaining seats so we have to choose the first

3 with highest decimals

Hamilton App. : Surplus + Lower Quota

 2. The Adams Method

Modified Modified|Modified
Divisor Exact | Upper |
Quota | Quota |
12576 | 2825 | 4.45168 | 5 |
13146 | 2825 | 4.65345 | 5 |
14105 | 2825 | 4.99292 | 5 |
13578 | 2825 | 4.80637 | 5 |
12986 | 2825 | 4.59681 | 5 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66391 | ≈25 | 0 | 25 |

Modified Divisor : We come up with a divisor which is just right to get

25 modified upper quota.
 3. The Huntington-Hill Method

Modified Modified|Modified
Divisor Exact | Rounded |
Quota | Quota |
12576 | 2655.64 | 4.73558 | 5 |
13146 | 2655.64 | 4.95022 | 5 |
14105 | 2655.64 | 5.31134 | 5 |
13578 | 2655.64 | 5.11289 | 5 |
12986 | 2655.64 | 4.88997 | 5 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66391 | ≈25 | 0 | 25 |

Modified Rounded quota: With the use of Geometric Mean for every integers with decimals
