Low Stakes 4: Population Density and Distribution 9/27/2020 midnight in blackboard

The purpose of this low stakes is to understand how the distribution of people in a country differs from population density.

1) Complete the blank cells in the table and answer the questions that follow. Population distribution computed as the countrys share of total population is country population divided by total population of all countries in this list multiplied by 100. Population density is computed as country population divided by country area in square kilometers

Country	Country Population(2006)	Country area(km2)	Countrys share of Total Population(%)	Population Density (per km2)
Botswana	1,639,833	566, 730	0.2
Chad	9,944,201	1, 259, 200	1.4
Egypt	78,887,007	995, 450	11.3	79.2
Kenya	34,707,817	569, 140	5.0
Yemen	21,456,188	527,970	3.1	40.6
Iceland	299,388	100, 250	0.0
Italy	58,133,509	294, 060
Switzerland	7,523,934	39, 550		190.2
Ukraine	46,710,816	579, 350
Canada	33,098,932	9, 220, 970
United States	298,444,215	9, 159, 120
Mexico	107,449,525	1, 908, 690		56.3
Total Population	698,295,365	xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx	100	xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1. What is the difference between population distribution and population density?
2. Find one example of a country with a large population but a relatively low population density.
3. Find one example of a country with a small population but a relatively high population density.
4. Does a large total population necessarily lead to a high population density? What relationship determines the population density?
5. Describe one problem in only using population density to determine how dense the population of a country is.
