The populations and areas of four states are shown. A 3-column table has 4 rows. The first column has entries State A, State B, State C, State D. The second column is labeled Population with entries 1,055,173, 1,333,089, 3,596,677, 6,745,408. The third column is labeled Area (kilometers squared) with entries 2,677, 36,418, 5,543, 10,555. Which statement regarding these four states is true? The state with the lowest population has the greatest population density. The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density. The state with the lowest population has the lowest population density. The state with the second greatest population has the lowest population density.

So with this data, we can easily rule out the first option (State A has the least population, but it isn't the most densely populated). Moving on to the second option, we see that the state with the second-lowest population, State B, also has the lowest population density! Thus, our answer is B (haha which is coincidentally the State name).

The true statement is (b) The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density.

What is population density?

Population density is the quotient of the population of a country and the land area

Below are the steps to determine the true statement:

The table is given as:

States Population Area

A 1,055,173 2677

B 1,333,089 36,418

C 3,596,677 5,543

D 6,745,408 10,555

Divide the population by the area to determine the population density

States Population density

A 1,055,173/2677 = 394.16

B 1,333,089/36,418 = 36.61

C 3,596,6775,543 = 648.86

D 6,745,408/10,555 = 639.07

The state with the lowest population density is state B, the second lowest population

Hence, the true statement is (b) The state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density.
