Question

the figure shows projections of the age distribution of the u.s. population from 2010 through 2050, where the age groups increase from front to back. use this graph to answer the following questions. complete parts a through d.
b. describe the change in the 45 - 54 age group between 2010 and 2050.
a. the group decreases as a percentage of the population.
b. the group increases as a percentage of the population.

Explanation:

To determine the change in the 45 - 54 age group between 2010 and 2050, we analyze the bar graph. The height of the bar for the 45 - 54 age group (represented by the yellow - colored bars, assuming the legend) decreases from 2010 to 2050. This means the percentage of the population in the 45 - 54 age group is getting smaller over time. So option A is correct.

Answer:

A. The group decreases as a percentage of the population.
