What was the percent increase in the mean population from 1950 to 2000?
1950 - 426,000,000
2000 - 1,046,500,000
DO I divide 426,000,000 by 1,046,500,000 which is 40.7%?
No. First you find the difference in the mean population. Then you take the diiference and you divide it by the original mean population (i.e in 1950) and you dinf the percentage.
I am sorry those were the mean numbers I forgot to say that, so I would subtract 1,046,500,000 - 426,000,000 =980,500,000 and then divide 980,500,000 by 1,046,000,000=.9369 which is 94% Correct?
No recheck your calculations.You must get 59%.
a) What was the mean population of the six continents or lands masses that were habitable in 2000?
To find the percent increase in the mean population from 1950 to 2000, you first need to calculate the difference between the mean population in 2000 and 1950.
Mean population in 1950 = 426,000,000
Mean population in 2000 = 1,046,500,000
Difference = 1,046,500,000 - 426,000,000 = 620,500,000
Next, divide the difference by the mean population in 1950 and multiply by 100 to get the percentage increase.
Percentage increase = (Difference / Mean population in 1950) * 100
Percentage increase = (620,500,000 / 426,000,000) * 100
Percentage increase = 1.456 * 100
Percentage increase = 145.6%
Therefore, the percent increase in the mean population from 1950 to 2000 is approximately 145.6%.
