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.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, pop. density for State A:

population/area : 1,055,173 / 2,677 = 394.16

For State B:

pop./A : 1,333,089 / 36,418 = 36.61

For State C:

pop.A : 3,596,677 / 5,543 = 648.87

For State D:

pop./A : 6,745,408 / 10,555 = 639.07

Okay!

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 state with the second lowest population has the lowest population density

you need a common difference between consecutive terms to be constant, like 1,2,3,4 or 2,4,6,8, or 1,3,6,9
