Question

A hospital district consists of six hospitals. The district administrators have decided that 48 new nurses should be apportioned based on the number of beds in each of the hospitals. The following table shows the number of beds in each hospital.

Hospital	Number of beds
Sharp	242
Palomar	356
Tri-City	308
Del Raye	190
Rancho Verde	275
Bel Aire	410
Total	1781

(a) Determine the standard divisor. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

What is the meaning of the standard divisor in the context of this exercise?

There is one new nurse for every beds.

(b) Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of nurses to be apportioned to each hospital.

Hospital	Hamilton
Sharp
Palomar
Tri-City
Del Raye
Rancho Verde
Bel Aire

Hospital	Jefferson
Sharp
Palomar
Tri-City
Del Raye
Rancho Verde
Bel Aire

(d) How do the apportionment results produced using the Jefferson method compare with the results produced using the Hamilton method?

Using the Jefferson method, Del Raye gets one less nurse and Sharp gets one more nurse than from the Hamilton method.Using the Jefferson method, Del Raye gets one less nurse and Bel Aire gets one more nurse than from the Hamilton method. Using the Hamilton method, Palomar gets one less nurse and Tri-City gets one more nurse than from the Jefferson method.Using the Hamilton method, Sharp gets one less nurse and Palomar gets one more nurse than from the Jefferson method.They are identical.
