    Using four different apportionment methods, the number of computers allocated to each Hogwarts house was determined. The standard divisor method yielded a remainder. Hamilton's method allocated the excess computers to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Jefferson's modified divisor properly apportioned all 15 computers without remainder. Adams' method also apportioned all computers by using an adjusted quota. Webster's method simply rounded the standard quotas.

    POST-ASSESSMENT:

    1. The table below shows the number of computers that are assigned to four
    houses in Hogwarts and the number of students in those houses. A total of 15
    computers are to be apportioned among the four houses.

    HOUSE Number of students


    Gryffindor 625
    Hufflepuff 532
    Ravenclaw 620
    Slytherin 753
    TOTAL 2530

    a. Determine the standard divisor.

    2350
    = 168.67 SD
    15

    b. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of computers to be


    apportioned to each house.

    HOUSE Number STANDARD LOWER NEW


    of QOUTA QUOTA QUOTA
    students
    Gryffindor 625 625 = 3.71 3 4
    168.67
    Hufflepuff 532 532 = 3.15 3 3
    168.67
    Ravenclaw 620 620 = 3.68 3 4
    168.67
    Slytherin 753 753 = 4.46 4 4
    168.67
    TOTAL 2530 13 15

    SOLUTION: Because the sum of the Lower Qouta is 13 and it is lower than
    15 the number of the computers, we must decide which house will receive
    the two “excess” computers. According to Hamilton’s Method, Gryffindor will
    receive one excess computer because it has the highest decimal point and
    the next that will receive the one excess computer is the Ravenclaw because
    it is the next to be the highest decimal point.

    c. Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of computers to be


    apportioned to each house.

    STATE POPULATION STANDARD MODIFIED LOWER


    QUOTA QUOTA MODIFIED
    (168.67) (155) QUOTA
    GRYFFINDOR 625 3.71 4.03 4
    HUFFLEPUFF 532 3.15 3.43 3
    RAVENCLAW 620 3.67 4 4
    SLYTHERIN 753 4.46 4.86 4
    TOTAL 2530 15
    The modified divisor SD= 155 has properly apportioned the 15 representatives,
    hence this will be our final result.

    d. Use the Adam’s method to determine the number of computers to be


    apportioned to each house.

    SOLUTION: Using Hamilton’s Method and the standard divisor 𝑆𝐷 = 168.67


    results in two excess seats.

    STATE POPULATION STANDARD MODIFIED LOWER


    QOUTA QUOTA MODIFIED
    (168.67) (190) QUOTA
    GRYFFINDOR 625 3.71 3.29 4
    HUFFLEPUFF 532 3.15 2.08 3
    RAVENCLAW 620 3.67 3.26 4
    SLYTHERIN 753 4.46 3.96 4
    TOTAL 2530 15

    Because the sum of the upper quotas (15) is equal to the total number of
    representatives, to be allocated (15), the apportionment process is complete. By
    using Adam’s method, The 35 will be apportioned as shown.
    e. Use the Webster’s method to determine the number of computers to be
    apportioned to each house.

    STATE POPULATION STANDARD ROUNDED


    QUOTA QUOTA
    (168.67)
    GRYFFINDOR 625 3.71 4
    HUFFLEPUFF 532 3.15 3
    RAVENCLAW 620 3.68 4
    SLYTHERIN 753 4.46 4
    TOTAL 2530 15
