Question

True or False: The total population of a country must be known to determine the population density of a square mile or kilometer.

True, population density is a measure of how an entire population is distributed.

True, population density and total population are the same.

False, population density cannot be measured in square miles or square kilometers.

False, only the total number of people living in the square mile needs to be known.

Answer 1

False, the population density of an area is determined by dividing the population size by the area of the region. Total country population is not needed; only the population within the specific area is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

False, only the total number of people living in the square mile needs to be known to determine the population density of that area. Population size is the total number of individuals in a population. To calculate population density, you divide the population size by the area of the region in square miles or kilometers.

In a real-world scenario, a population's density can influence various aspects, such as environmental impact, resource availability, and social dynamics. For instance, if a population of 100 insects lives in an area of 100 square meters, the density is 1 insect per square meter. However, if the same population were in only 1 square meter, the density would be 100 insects per square meter, indicating a much more crowded and possibly stressful environment for the insects.

Answer 2

(A. ) True, population density is a measure of how an entire population is distributed.

The total population of a country must be known to determine the population density of a square mile or kilometer. Population density can be found by dividing the number of people by land area [measured in square miles or square kilometers].
