Textbook Question
Chapter 6.2, Problem 12E
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, the regions in and around the Misty Mountains are inhabited by elves, dwarves, and Ents (tree shepherds). Elves reside in Rivendell and Lothlorien, dwarves dwell in Moria, and Ents roam the forests of Fangorn. Suppose that these inhabitants decide to form a federation to foster mutual protection, historical preservation, and cultural exchange. If the federation is to have twenty-one seats, use Hamilton's Method and the (estimated) population data given in Figure 6.89 to apportion the seats.

and finance, and 6 students are taking all three classes. How many students are enrolled in at least one of the classes?
3. A group of friends are planning a trip through Alberta. They have created a list of communities that they may
be interested in visiting. They want to minimize their travel between areas with possible visits to each of the
following communities:
Edmonton Area

restrictions on which communities they visit in each area?
b) If the group must visit all of the communities in the Edmonton Area, 3 in the Calgary area, and 2 in the
Lethbridge area, how many different schedules can be created?
c) If the group decides that Sherwood Park and Coaldale should not be on the schedule due to distance, how
