New York City is under attack by Morlun and the Inheritors (for the full story, check out the 2014 event Spider-Verse that inspired the movie!) There are 5 boroughs that need defending and there are a total of 39 variants of Spider-Man to help (including the likes of Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham, and Spider-Man Noir). How many heroes should be sent to each borough based on the number of civilians under attack in each? You are welcome to use a calculator or spreadsheet for this problem, but the work can all be done fully by hand as well. The provided numbers are a guide to double-check your work; you will be asked to fill in the blanks in parts (c) through (e).

Clearly label each in your answer. (b) Briefly explain what a quota is and how to compute it, then compute the quota for all 5 counties.

Transcribed Image Text:1. New York City is under attack by Morlun and the Inheritors (for the full story, check out the 2014 event
Spider-Verse that inspired the movie!) There are 5 boroughs that need defending and there are a total
of 39 variants of Spider-Man to help (including the likes of Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham, and Spider-Man
Noir). How many heroes should be sent to each borough based on the number of civilians under attack
in each? You are welcome to use a calculator or spreadsheet for this problem, but the work can all be
done fully by hand as well.
The provided numbers are a guide to double-check your work; you will be asked to fill in
the blanks in parts (c) through (e).

(a) Determine the total population (here, civilians in danger), house size (here, number of heroes), and
standard/natural divisor. Clearly label each in your answer.
(b) Briefly explain what a quota is and how to compute it, then compute the quota for all 5 counties.
Transcribed Image Text:(c) Find the remaining apportionment of seats (Staten Island and Brooklyn) via Hamilton's method.
(d) Find the remaining apportionment of seats (Brooklyn and Queens) via Jefferson's method. Write
each of the modified quotas below. Make sure to clearly state the modified divisor that you
use and explain why it works.
