Thanks for trying, I know the definition but I need to reply in a paragraph which is a test grade

e.mccormick · Answer

Then reply with a paragraph. I don't do people's work for them. I just help them get un-stuck when they are. All of this is covered in the Code of Conduct. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct Right at the top where you agree not to hand out answers.

Sorry, I didn't mean for you to do my work for me, I just need an idea on what to write.

e.mccormick · Answer

Well, you know what an influx is, do you know what a quota is?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, a proportional share

e.mccormick · Answer

It is a tad odd, it has two meanings that seem to be the exact opposite of each other.... but because this relates to people, it is a limit on the maximum.

e.mccormick · Answer

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quota : an official limit on the number or amount of people or things that are allowed http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/quota 3. the number or percentage of persons of a specified kind permitted to enroll in a college, join a club, immigrate to a country, etc. They are using it in that sense.
