sarita is doing a population pyramid for the population of the united states. she puts the numbers for males on the left, females on the right, plots statistics for every cohort of a five - year age span, and puts age on the x axis and population on the y axis. what could sarita do differently to make her population pyramid conform to norms?

a switch the males to the right and place the females to the left.

b use 10 - year age spans instead.

c move the age to the y axis and the population to the x axis.

d leave off the statistics for females completely.

Explanation:

Standard population pyramids have age on the vertical (Y) axis and population count/proportion on the horizontal (X) axis. Males are typically on the left, females on the right, and 5-year age cohorts are acceptable. Sarita's error is reversing the axes.

Answer:

c. Move the age to the Y axis and the population to the X axis.
