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:
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:
Add 6 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
The (usual) first thing to do when solving any equation is to simplify both sides of the equation. However, since we have nothing to simplify, we move onto the next step that'll be the first step: isolating the variable, x. To do so, we must do the inverse of subtracting 6 (which is adding 6).

If 11% of a number equals 4, find 66% of that number.
Answers
Answer:
363/20,000
.................................................................................
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be " x ".
11 % of x = 4
( 11 / 100 ) * x = 4
x = 4 * ( 100 / 11 )
x = 400 / 11
66 % of that number
= 66 % of x.
= 66 % of 400 / 11
= ( 66 / 100 ) x ( 400 / 11 )
= ( 66 x 400 ) / ( 100 x 11 )
= 6 x 4
= 24

D. 213Step-by-step explanation:
The number of black pieces is 5 more than 3 times the white pieces:
b = 3w + 5Let the number of rounds is x.
Initial number of white nd black pieces:
w = 7x + 3b = 15x + 56Substitute the values of b and w into first equation and find the value of x:
15x + 56 = 3(7x + 3) + 515x + 56 = 21x + 146x = 42x = 7Find the number of pieces:
w = 7*7 + 3 = 52b = 3*52 + 5 = 161w + b = 52 + 161 = 213Correct choice is D

Answer:
Area= 18 x 18=324 sq.cm
Step-by-step explanation:
p=36 x2=72 (as it is twice that of the original paper)
since it is a square, length of 1 side = 72/4= 18
so, the area = l x l= 18 x 18= 324 sq.cm

Given log_73≈0.5646 and log_716≈1.4248, evaluate the expressions. Please show work using given values.
Answers
Answer:
(a) [tex]\log_72 \approx 0.3562[/tex]
(b) [tex]\log_7(\frac{147}{16} ) = 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For the point a:
For this problem we use the information of [tex]\log_716 \approx 1.4248[/tex]
16 can be re-write as [tex]2^4[/tex]. Then you have:
[tex]\log_72^4[/tex]
Using the power property of the logarithm we have:
[tex]\log_ba^c = c\log_ba[/tex]
[tex]\log_72^4 = 4\log_72[/tex]
And this expression is equal to:
[tex]4\log_72 \approx 1.4248\\\log_72\approx \frac{1.4248}{4} \approx 0.3562\\[/tex]
For the point b:
For this problem we use the information of [tex]\log_716 \approx 1.4248[/tex] and [tex]\log_73 \approx 0.5646[/tex]
The first is use the quotient property in the given log.
[tex]\log_c\frac{a}{b} = \log_ca-\log_cb[/tex]
[tex]\log_7\frac{147}{16} = \log_7147 -\log_716[/tex]
We already know the value of [tex]\log_716[/tex] then we have to calculate the value of [tex]\log_7147[/tex].
So we factorize the number 147 in [tex]3 \cdot 7 \cdot 7[/tex] (for factorize the number start with the smaller prime and check if the remainder is 0, it is then is a primer factor of the number).
Now re-write [tex]\log_7147[/tex] as [tex]\log_73 \cdot 7^2[/tex] and by the product property get:
[tex]\log_bmn = \log_b m +\log_b n\\\log_73 \cdot 49 = \log_7 3 +\log_7 49 = 0.5646 + 2 = 2.5646[/tex]
Know replace each value in the subtraction and get the result:
[tex]\log_7147 -\log_716 = 2.5646 - 0.5646 = 2[/tex]

12. Suppose a computer manufacturer has the total cost function C(x) = 65x +3500 and the total revenue function
R(x) = 365x, where x represents the number of computers produced and sold. What is the profit on 326 items?
a. $86,500
b. $101,300
c. $94,300
d. $1,238,800
$143.680
Answers
Cost is 65x + 3500 where x is = 326.
65(326) + 3500
21,190 + 3500 = $24,690 is the cost.
Revenue is 365x where x is 326.
365(326) = $118,990
Now we subtract the two:
118,990 - 24,690 = $94,300
This means that the answer is C) $94,300.
