For the six states you listed in Table ? that use the least amount of
water, which factor do you think is more closely related to water use, the
population size or the area? Explain. What will be an ideal response?
States that use
the least water
Population rank Area rank
Maine 40 38
Rhode Island 42 48
South Dakota 45 15
Vermont 47 42
North Dakota 46 16
New Hampshire 41 43
For these states, population size is a better indicator of water use than area. Their area
rank is much more variable than their population rank.
