4 Apportioning Candies Example I have a class of 10 students and I have 150 pieces of candy to hand out. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
5 Apportioning Candies Example I have a class of 10 students and I have 150 pieces of candy to hand out. I will distribute the candies according to the number of correct answers they give on the next test, out of 12 questions. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
6 Apportioning Candies Example I have a class of 10 students and I have 150 pieces of candy to hand out. I will distribute the candies according to the number of correct answers they give on the next test, out of 12 questions. The numbers of correct answers are for a total of 75 correct answers. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 11, 12, Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
7 Apportioning Candies Example I have a class of 10 students and I have 150 pieces of candy to hand out.

8 Apportioning Candies Example I have a class of 10 students and I have 150 pieces of candy to hand out. I will distribute the candies according to the number of correct answers they give on the next test, out of 12 questions. The numbers of correct answers are for a total of 75 correct answers. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 11, 12, How many candies should each student get? The ratio of 150 : 75 indicates that each correct answer is worth 2 candies. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
9 Apportioning Candies Example But, unfortunately, my dog ate 102 of the candies before I could hand them out, so now I have only 48 candies. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
10 Apportioning Candies Example But, unfortunately, my dog ate 102 of the candies before I could hand them out, so now I have only 48 candies. Now each correct answer is worth 48 75, or 0.64, of a candy. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
11 Apportioning Candies Example But, unfortunately, my dog ate 102 of the candies before I could hand them out, so now I have only 48 candies. Now each correct answer is worth 48 75, or 0.64, of a candy. How many candies should each student get? Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
12 Apportioning Candies Example If we tried to give each student his exact number of candies, we would give the students 1.28, 2.56, 3.20, 3.84, 4.48, 5.12, 6.40, 6.40, 7.04, 7.68 candies, respectively. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15

If we rounded those numbers off, we would give them 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8 candies, which add up to only 47 candies. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15

17 Outline 1 Apportioning Candies 2 The House of Representatives 3 Hamilton s Solution 4 Assignment Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Apportionment Problems Fri, Feb 20, / 15
18 Alexander Hamilton s Solution Alexander Hamilton s Solution Alexander Hamilton proposed a solution in 1791, right after the first national census. His method, briefly, is Calculate the exact number of seats that each state deserves. Separate each of those numbers into a whole number and the fractional part. Give each state its whole number of seats. Distribute the remaining seats to those states with the largest fractional parts. Robb T.
