Section A: Apportionment (10 Marks)

The SRI has received funding to expand its seismic monitoring stations in a region prone to earthquakes. The region is divided into five districts with varying seismic activity levels, measured by the number of significant tremors recorded in the past year:

District A: 350 tremors

District B: 275 tremors

District C: 180 tremors

District D: 95 tremors

District E: 100 tremors

A total of 15 new monitoring stations needs to be apportioned among these districts based on their seismic activity.

Questions:

1.Use the Hamilton method to apportion the 15 monitoring stations among the five districts. Show all calculations. (5 marks)

2.Use one other method (Jefferson, Adams or Webster) for apportionment and compare the results with the Hamilton method. (5 marks)
