33
Q

DESCRIBING THE SEX COMPOSITION OF A POPULATION:

34
Q
  • computed by dividing the number of males by the number of females using a factor of 100.
  • Interpreted as the number of males for every
    100 females     in the population.
35
Q
  • Graphical presentation of the age and sex structure of a population
  • Either the actual population count or the percentage of the population can be graphed
  • Special type of histogram
  • Male = left
  • Female = right (BAHAHAHA)
