You wish to know which borough has the highest proportion of immigrants. Based on your sample, the Venmark borough has 246 im- migrants over 722 residents whereas the Clinfield borough has 83 foreigners over 302 inhabitants. Which borough has the highest proportion of immigrants? Proportion of Immigrants Proportion 0.00 0.10 0.20 0.30 - Clinfield Venmark Borough Question 2 The mean age of the inhabitants in your borough is increasing over time. Based on guidelines published by the elected representatives, the proportion of people over 70 years must be greater than 35% to proceed to changes in the urban infrastructures (e.g., more park benches).
