population density by county
use the map to answer the questions.
what type of map is this?
choropleth
how do you know if the density of the population is greater in a particular area?
the colors appear darker.
in this map, what is the dependent variable?
population
geographic location (county)
colors that are used

Explanation:

A choropleth map uses color - coding to represent data within predefined areas. In this case, the population density in different counties is shown with different colors. Darker colors indicate higher population density. The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or observed, which here is the population density (represented by population). The independent variable would be the geographic location (county) as it is the variable that might influence the population density.

Answer:

population
