Question

pick three of the five countries available and complete the chart below. complete the calculations for population density, crude birth rate and crude death rate using the data from the canada statistics. (hint: if you forget the formulas, click the help button.)
country #1 argentina
total population: 46,230,000.
total land area: 2,780,400 km².
population density (show the math): divide 46,230,000 with 2,780,400 and you get 16.63 per km².
crude birth rate (show the math): divide the total number of births in a year with the total population and you get 13.79 births per year.
total # of births (in 2023): 637,811.
crude death rate (show the math): divide the total number of births in a year with the total population and times it by 1000 you would get 13.79 births per person.
country #2 south america
total # of births (in 2023): 381,810.
total # of deaths (in 2023): 381,810.
hint: round to the nearest tenth.
take the total of deaths in a year and divide it with total population and you would get 7.60.
which one is higher? the crude birth rate or the crude death rate?
crude birth rate: births per people.
crude death rate: deaths per people.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate crude birth rate

Crude birth rate is calculated as (total number of births in a year / total population) * 1000. For Argentina, if we assume the calculations are correct in the table, the crude birth rate calculation gives 13.79 births per 1000 people.

Step2: Calculate crude death rate

Crude death rate is calculated as (total number of deaths in a year / total population) * 1000. For Argentina, the calculation gives approximately 7.60 deaths per 1000 people.

Step3: Compare rates

We compare the crude birth rate (13.79) and the crude death rate (7.60).

Answer:

The crude birth rate is higher.
