  1. The Webster and Hill Method for Apportionment Both are like the Jefferson method

  2. Webster • Instead of truncating to find the initial distribution use the rounding method that is most familiar (.5 and above round up below .5 round down) • Count up the number of sear distributed and determine how many seat need to be add or taken away.

  3. Webster • If there are 6 different coalitions that control the following populations how would Webster distribute 35 seats. • A 979 • B 868 • C 590 • D 449 • E 356 • F 258

  4. Webster initial distribution Round up Go down .5 from int. to lose a seat Round down One to many

  5. Hill • Instead of truncating to find the initial distribution round at the geometry mean ( if quota is 4.48 then the geometric mean is √(4 x 5)= 4.4721. Round up to 5) • Count up the number of seats distributed and determine how many seat need to be add or taken away.

  6. Hill • If there are 6 different coalitions that control the following populations how would Hill distribute 35 seats. • A 979 • B 868 • C 590 • D 449 • E 356 • F 258

  7. Hill initial distribution Round up because they are greater than the geometric mean

  8. Need to check for a second one Divide by the geometric mean Two to many
