EXERCISES

1. A total of 25 flat one grades are to be apportioned among seven sections of MMW Class. The class
size in the seven sections are given in the table below.

SECTIONS BSA1G BSC1A BSC1B BSFT1 BSEMATH BS MATH ABM

CLASS SIZE 33 21 27 31 35 38 39

a. Determine the standard divisor. What is the meaning of the Standard Divisor in the context of this
exercise?

 224 ÷ 25 = 8.96

b. Use the Hamilton Method and Jefferson Method to determine the number of flat one to be
apportioned to each section.

c. Use the Huntington Hill Principle to determine which section an additional flat one should be
assigned. Use the result of Hamilton Plan

d. Which of the Apportionment method violate the quota rule.

 The quota rule was not broken by any apportionment method.

2. The table below shows how average constituency changes when two CMU Residence
Halls, Mahogany Residence Hall (MRH) and Sunrise Residence Hall (SRH), add a new
student occupant.

MRH’s AC SHR’s AC

MRH receives new occupant 466 638

SRH receives new occupant 638 489

a. Determine the relative unfairness of an apportionment that gives a new occupant to MRH rather than
SRH.

AUA 172
RUA= = =0.369
AC of the subgroup receiving the new representative 466
b. Determine the relative unfairness of an apportionment that gives a new occupant to SRH rather than
MRH.

149
RUA= =0.305
489

c. Using the apportionment principle, determine which residence hall receive the additional student
occupant.

 The RUA’s of MRH and SRH are roughly 0.369 and 0.306, respectively. According to the
apportionment principle, SRH is the cluster with the fewest RUA and will therefore get the extra
student occupant.

3. Suppose a government is composed of four political parties, A, B, C, and D. The voting system for this
government is {26:18,16,10,6}. Determine the Banzhaf Power Index (BPI) for each voter.

WINNING COALITIONS NO. OF VOTES CRITICAL VOTES

{A,B} 34 A,B
{A,C} 28 A,C
{A,B,C} 44 NONE
{A,B,D} 40 A,B
{A,C,D} 34 A,C
{B,C,D} 32 B,C
{A,B,C,D} 50 NONE

The number of times any voter is a critical voter is 12

A= 4 times

B= 4 times

C= 4 times

D= 0

4 4
BPI ( A ) =0.333 BPI ( C ) =0.333
12 12

4 0
BPI ( B ) =0.333 BPI ( D ) =0
12 12
 Therefore, voters A, B, C has the power.
