Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

The Alabama paradox occurs when a state loses a seat as a result of an increase in the House size. It can happen when an increase in House size causes the quota for some states to increase more than others and a state that originally assigned its upper quota then receives only its lower quota.

A county council has 15 seats that are apportioned among four regions. The population of the West region is 3560 and the West region holds four seats on the council. What is the representative share for the West region?
