Question

The populations and areas of four states are shown. A 3-column table has 4 rows. The first column has entries State A, State B, State C, State D. The second column is labeled Population with entries 1,055,173, 1,333,089, 3,596,677, 6,745,408. The third column is labeled Area (kilometers squared) with entries 2,677, 36,418, 5,543, 10,555. Which statement regarding these four states is true? The state with the lowest population has the greatest population density. The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density. The state with the lowest population has the lowest population density. The state with the second greatest population has the lowest population density.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just did the quiz

Answer 2

The true statement is (b) The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density.

What is population density?

Population density is the ratio of a country population to the land mass of the country

From the question, we have the following table

The table is given as:

States     Population    Area

A               1,055,173     2677

B               1,333,089    36,418

C               3,596,677     5,543

D               6,745,408    10,555

Calculate the population density by dividing the population by the land area

States     Population density

A               1,055,173/2677 = 394.16

B               1,333,089/36,418 = 36.61

C               3,596,6775,543 = 648.86

D               6,745,408/10,555 = 639.07

The state with the lowest population density is state B and it has the second lowest population

Hence, the true statement is (b) The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density.
