Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Webster's method involves dividing the number of students in each department by the geometric mean of the number of seats currently allocated and the number of seats that would be allocated based on a hypothetical allocation that gives each department one more seat. The process is repeated until the number of seats stabilizes. The results are:

Math: 6 seats
  Statistics: 5 seats
  Applied math: 9 seats

Therefore, the apportionment produced by Webster's method is 6, 5, 9, which corresponds to choice B.
