Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.A school district decides to add new teachers after a new school opens in the district. They use the Jefferson apportionment method to determine how many teachers each school should get. They are surprised to find that as a result of adding the new school, one of the existing schools loses a teacher.

What will be an ideal response?


No, the statement does not make sense. This would be an example of the new states paradox. The Jefferson apportionment method is not susceptible to this paradox.
