Math 103-06 Name: _________________________________ Quiz 6 1.
A small city operates four bus routes which it calls W, X, Y, and Z, and owns 30 buses. The town decides to apportion the buses among the four routes based on the average number of passengers who use each route each day. a. If you attempted to use 500 as a modified divisor for the Huntington-Hill method, would it work? If so, what is the resulting apportionment, and if not, should your next choice of modified divisor be less than or greater than 500? Route Average # of Passengers W 3770 X 2740 Y 5170 Z 3320 b. Use the Huntington-Hill method to apportion the 30 buses among the four routes. One of the modified divisors 497, 500, 503, or 506 will work. Be sure you understand how to write out what the Huntington-Hill rounding cutoff is for each bus route; you will need to do this to apply the method. Route Average # of Passengers W 3770 X 2740 Y 5170 Z 3320
