Please Help! I don't understand how the Alabama paradox works. I will give you a lot of points!

--PLEASE show all work

The table shows the populations, in thousands, of the three states in a country with a population of 3760 thousand. Use Hamilton's method to show that the Alabama paradox occurs if the number of seats in congress is increased from 24 to 25

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  State A loses a seat to State B when the total is increased

Step-by-step explanation:

The "work" is most easily done by a spreadsheet, as the calculations are easily defined and very repetitive.

The "fair share" of seats is the fraction the population is of the total, multiplied by the total number of seats. It will generally be a mixed number (integer plus fraction).

If the whole number is 1 or greater, the number of seats allocated at least that whole number.

If not all seats are allocated, the fractions are sorted in decreasing order, and 1 additional seat is added to the allocation for each state, working down the list, until all of the seats are allocated.

__

The attachment shows State A has the highest fraction when the number of seats is 24. Only one additional seat needs to be allocated in that case. State A gets that extra seat.

When the number of seats is 25, States B and C have the highest fractions. Each of them gets one additional seat, and State A gets no additional seats. This results in the appearance of State A giving up a seat to State B.

_____

Additional comment

Hamilton's apportionment method was used for a number of years in the US. The method now in use is substantially different. The current method would divide the 24 seats so that A=3, B=6, C=15. The 25th seat would be given to State A.

Answers

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

11x - 2(x + 3) = 30

distribute: 11x-2x-6=30

add like terms: 9x-6=30

add 6: 9x=36

divide by 9: x=4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

11x - 2(x +3) = 30

11x -2x - 6 = 30

11x - 2x = 30 + 6

9x = 36

9x/9 = 36/9

A patients IV bag contains 750mL. Four hours later, the IV bag contains 450mL.

a) Determine the rate at which the bag is draining.
b) Use your answer from (a) to predict how many mL of IV fluid are left in the bag after 6 hours.

Answers

Answers:
a) 75ml/hr
b) 0ml left

Explanation:
a) 750ml - 450ml = 300ml (This is how much we know the bag drained within 4hrs)

300ml/4=75ml

so now we know the rate of drain is 75ml/hr

b) since rate is 75ml/hr:
75*6=450
450-450=0

Hence there will be no fluid left for the patient.

(a) The rate at which the bag is draining is 75mL/h.

(b) After 6 hours, the remaining fluid is =0 mL.

What is rate?

Rate is a measurement of change of a quantity with respect to another quantity.

Given that,

Initial volume of bag=750 mL,

After 4 hours later, the volume of bag= 450.

(a)

To determine the rate of draining,

The change of volume in 4 hours= 750-450=300

The change of volume in 1 hour = 300/4=75

So, the rate of draining= 75mL

(b)

To determine the remaining volume of bag after 6 hours,

The volume drains in 1 hour=75 mL

The volume drains in 6 hours = 75×6=450

The remaining fluid = 450-450=0

The fluid remains after 6 hours is 0mL.

Answers

Answer:

178

Step-by-step explanation:

All right!!

Line l is parellel to line m.

So if r is 91 then we can infer that s helps it make a 180 degree angle/straight line.

So 180 - 91 = 89

s = 89

If the two lines are parallel then s = u because of inner angles/outer angles stuff.

If s=u then u = 89 as well.

And because of vertical angles, t =u so t = 89.

Now the question asks to find t + u, so t + u = 89 + 89 = 178

7. Jairaj has 20 50-cent and 10-cent coins altogether. He has a total of $6.80 How many 50-cent coins does he have?​

Answers

Jairaj has 13 50 cent coins

Answer:

He will have 8 50-cent coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of 10-cent coins

Let y = the number of 50-cent coins

x + y = 20         y = 20 - x

[Set up an equation] .10x + .50y = 6.80

[Multiply both sides by 100] 10x + 50y = 680

[Plug-in] 10x + 50(20 - x) = 680

[Multiply] 10x + 1,000 - 50x = 680

[Combine like terms & subtract 1,000 from both sides] -40x = -320

[Divide both sides by -40] x = 8 coins

If sin theta < 0 and cot theta < 0, which quadrant(s)

could the terminal side of theta lie?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sinθ < 0 means below the x axis

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ < 0

As sinθ  is already < 0 means cosθ has to be > 0 meaning right of the y axis.

Right of y and below x is the IV quadrant.

The quadrant in which angle theta lie if sin theta < 0 and cot theta < 0 exists Quadrant IV (4).

What is meant by Trigonometric Identities?

Trigonometric Identities are equality conditions that hold for all possible values of the variables in the equation and use trigonometry functions. There exists numerous unique trigonometric identities that relate a triangle's side length and angle.

here, we have,

Sine, cosine, and tangent are the fundamental three operations in trigonometry. The cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions are derived from these three basic functions. On these functions, all trigonometrical notions exists built.

Trigonometric identities are equality conditions in trigonometry that hold for all values of the variables that appear and are defined on both sides of the equivalence. These exists identities that, geometrically speaking, involve certain functions of one or more angles.

we have,

sinθ < 0 means below the x axis

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ < 0

As sinθ  is already < 0 means cosθ has to be > 0 meaning right of the y axis.

Right of y and below x is the IV quadrant.

Hence, The quadrant in which angle theta lie if sin theta < 0 and cot theta < 0 exists Quadrant IV (4).
