Question

A rapid transit service operates 181 trains along five routes, A, B C, D, and E. The number of trains assigned to each route is based on the average number of dally passengers per route, given in the folowing table Use Webster's method to apportion the trains. (Hint A modified dvisor between 50 and 60 wil work.) Average Number of Passengers t02 1322 1515 1573 5446 of apportioned trains ype an integer) ype an integer Number ef apportioned trains of apportioned trains Type an integer) Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes

Explanation / Answer

Here total population = 1027+ 1322 + 1515 + 1573 + 5446 = 10883

Stanard divisor 10883/181 = 60.1271

Now divide each population by the standard divisor

Standared quota = average passanger for that route/ standard divisor

Now taking the nearest integer

The sums comes out to be 181 so we dont need any further calculation

so

Here A = 17

B = 22

C = 25

D = 26

E = 91

Route Passangers Std. quota A 1027 17.0805 B 1322 21.9868 C 1515 25.1966 D 1573 26.1613 E 5446 90.5748 Sum 10883 Routes 181 Std. Divisor 60.1271
