nation. Which two statements are correct conclusions from the graph data?
People in Maryland use more energy per person than people in Virginia,

The energy consumption per person in North Carolina is higher than the national average.

Answer 1

People in most states are consuming less energy since the year 2007

The graph clearly shows how per-capita energy consumption peaked in 2007 in most states, and from then on, it began to dwindle.

People living in Tennessee consume more energy than the average American.

The graph clearly shows that the energy consumption per capita in Tennessee is higher than the national average in every single year. In fact, Tennesse has the highest energy consumption per capita of all the states illustrated in the graph.
