A mother wishes to distribute 16 pieces of candy among her three children (Abe, Betty, and Cindy) based on the number of hours each child spends doing chores around the house. Using a certain apportionment method, she has determined that Abe is to get 9 pieces of the candy, Betty is to get 4 pieces, and Cindy is to get 3 pieces. However, just before she hands out the candy, she discovers that a neighbor (Dave) has been helping her children with the household chores. Since Dave has worked the same number of hours as Cindy, the mother decides to add 3 more pieces of candy and distribute 19 pieces. When she apportions the 19 pieces using the same apportionment method, Abe ends up with 10 pieces, Betty with 3 pieces, Cindy with 3 pieces, and Dave with 3 pieces. This is an example of
◦ the population paradox.
◦ the Alabama paradox.
◦ the new states paradox.
◦ a violation of the quota rule.
◦ none of these
