Education The following table shows the enrollments for the four divisions of a college. There are 50 new overhead projectors that are to be apportioned among the divisions based on the enrollments. a. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division. b. Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division. c. Use the Webster method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.

(a)

Use the Hamilton method to determine tile number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.

Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is 7,18,10,15.

Given Information:

Number of overhead projectors =50

Concept used:

  Standard Divisor=Number of enrollmentsNumber of overhead projectors to apportion

Calculation:

Since there is a total 50 new overhead projectors should be apportioned standard divisor is calculated by total number of enrollments divided by total number of new over head projectors that are to be apportioned, formula for standard divisor is,

  Standard Divisor=Number of enrollmentsNumber of overhead projectors to apportion

Therefore,

  Standard Divisor=960950=192.18

Under the Hamilton plan, divide the enrollments of each division by the standard divisor and round the quotient down to a whole number

When this happen the Hamilton plan calls for revisiting the calculation of the quotients and assigning an additional representative to the divisions with the largest decimal remaindeí process is continued until the number of representatives equals the number required by divisions. For divisions we have.

Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is 7,18,10,15.

Conclusion:

Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is 7,18,10,15.

(b)

Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.

The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is

  6,18,10,16

Given Information:

Concept used:

  Standard Divisor=Number of enrollmentsNumber of overhead projectors to apportion

Calculation:

For Jefferson plan we consider modified standard divisor by trial and error is 182.9.

Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is 6,18,10,16

Conclusion:

The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is

  6,18,10,16

(c)

Use the Webster method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.

The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and

Science is 7,18,10,15.

Given Information:

Webster method

Concept used:

Webster method includes Enrollment, Quotient and number of overhead projects.

Calculation:

Now use Webster method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned therefore,

Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and

Science is 7,18,10,15.

Conclusion:

The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and

Science is 7,18,10,15.
