Question

argentina continent: south america total population: 46,230,000 people total land area (in km²): 2,780,400 km² total # of births (in 2023): 637,511 births total # of deaths (in 2023): 351,810 deaths learning objectives: i can calculate population density, crude birth rate, and crude death rate using real - world data. 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 (hint: if you forget the formulae, click the help button). country: total population total land area population density (show the math) crude birth rate (show the math) crude death rate (show the math) the population density of births per people is people per square people per square which one is higher? the crude birth rate or the crude death rate?

Explanation:

Step1: Define population density formula

Population density = $\frac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{Total Land Area}}$
Given total population = 46,230,000 people and total land area = 2,780,400 $km^{2}$
Population density = $\frac{46230000}{2780400}\approx 16.63$ people per $km^{2}$

Step2: Define crude - birth - rate formula

Crude birth rate = $\frac{\text{Total number of births in a year}}{\text{Total population}}\times1000$
Given total number of births in 2023 = 637,511 and total population = 46,230,000
Crude birth rate = $\frac{637511}{46230000}\times1000\approx 13.79$ births per 1000 people

Step3: Define crude - death - rate formula

Crude death rate = $\frac{\text{Total number of deaths in a year}}{\text{Total population}}\times1000$
Given total number of deaths in 2023 = 351,810 and total population = 46,230,000
Crude death rate = $\frac{351810}{46230000}\times1000\approx 7.61$ deaths per 1000 people

Step4: Compare crude birth rate and crude death rate

Since 13.79>7.61, the crude birth rate is higher.

Answer:

Population density: 16.63 people per $km^{2}$
Crude birth rate: 13.79 births per 1000 people
Crude death rate: 7.61 deaths per 1000 people
The crude birth rate is higher.
