Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To apportion the 300 federal judges using Webster's method, we first calculate the total population and then determine the standard divisor (total population divided by the total number of judges). Next, we find the initial allocation for each province by dividing its population by the standard divisor and rounding to the nearest whole number. The apportionment for province G can be calculated as follows:Total population = 25,312 + 19,734 + 33,407 + 29,591 + 13,288 + 22,751 + 31,992 = 176,075Standard divisor = Total population / Total judges = 176,075 / 300 = 587For province G:Initial quota = Population of G / Standard divisor = 31,992 / 587 ≈ 54.5According to Webster's method, we round to the nearest whole number, so province G would be apportioned 54 judges.
