Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard divisor is calculated by dividing the total number of items (in this case, scholarships) by the total population (in this case, the total enrollment in all departments). The total enrollment is 233 (M) + 297 (E) + 153 (C) = 683. The total number of scholarships is 22. So, the standard divisor is 683 / 22 = 31.05. The standard quota for the Mechanical Engineering Department is then calculated by dividing the department's enrollment by the standard divisor: 233 / 31.05 = 7.50, which rounds to 7.51 when rounded to two decimals.
