Population pyramids A population pyramid is a helpful graph for examining the distribution of a country’s population. Here is a population pyramid for Vietnam in the year 2010. Describe what the graph tells you about Vietnam’s population that year. Be specific.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is not much difference in Vietnam’s population

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given graph :

02

Concept

When objects need to be displayed in a way that demonstrates the hierarchical structure as well as amount or size, pyramid charts are the ideal choice. This can include positions in management, items sold, and business locations, among other things

03

Explanation

The population of the pyramid for Vietnam in the year 2010shows that there is little variation in the distribution of males and females in the country. The male population's median (center) is higher than the female population's median (center). The majority of the population is between the ages of 0 and 50for both males and females, with a range of0 to 100 for each.

As a result, there isn't much of a divide between males and girls in the country.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of a new weed killer to prevent weed growth in onion crops. Two chemicals were used: the standard weed killer (C) and the new chemical (W). Both chemicals were tested at high and low concentrations on a total of 50 test plots. The percent of weeds that grew in each plot was recorded. Here are some boxplots of the results. Which of the following is not a correct statement about the results of this experiment?

(a) At both high and low concentrations, the new chemical (W) gives better weed control than the standard weed killer (C).

(b) Fewer weeds grew at higher concentrations of both chemicals.

(c) The results for the standard weed killer are less variable than those for the new chemical.

(d) High and low concentrations of either chemical have approximately the same effects on weed growth.

(e) Some of the results for the low concentration of weed killer W show fewer weeds growing than some of the results for the high concentrate
