Which is the correct answer to the question.
Of the 15 states in the Union when the issue of apportionment for the House of Representatives was first taken up in 1794, let's consider Kentucky, which had a population of 72677, and New Jersey, which had a population of 184139. The total population as of the 1790 census was 3893874 individuals, and the size of the House of Representatives was 105.
(a) What was the standard quota for Kentucky? Include at least three decimal places of accuracy. Standard quota:
(b) What was the standard quota for New Jersey? Include at least three decimal places of accuracy. Standard quota:
(c) What is the standard divisor for this apportionment exercise? Include at least one decimal place.Standard divisor:
There are 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 8.14% of the U.S. population lived in Texas. Compute Texas's standard quota in 2010 (rounded to two decimal places).
