Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the standard divisor, you sum the populations of all provinces and then divide by the total number of federal judges to be apportioned. The sum of the populations is $25,312 + 19,734 + 33,407 + 29,591 + 13,288 + 22,751 + 31,992 = 176,075$. The standard divisor is then $176,075 \div 320 = 550.23$. To find the standard quota for province G, divide its population by the standard divisor: $31,992 \div 550.23 = 58.14$.
