Question

according to this map, which states have a population of over 25 million residents? check all that apply
□ florida (fl)
□ new york (ny)
□ california (ca)
□ arizona (az)
□ texas (tx)

Explanation:

To determine which states have over 25 million residents, we analyze the map's color coding (assuming the darkest/reddest shades represent over 25 million). California (CA), Texas (TX) are known (and from typical US population data) to have populations over 25 million. Florida (FL) is around 21 million (not over 25), New York (NY) around 20 million, Arizona (AZ) around 7 million. Wait, correction: Actually, California (CA) (≈39 million), Texas (TX) (≈29 million) are over 25 million. Florida (FL) is ≈22 million (not over 25), New York (NY) ≈20 million, Arizona (AZ) ≈7 million. But maybe the map's legend: if "over 25 million" is a category, then CA, TX are in that. Wait, maybe the map's legend (from typical US population maps) – CA, TX, and maybe FL? Wait no, FL is ~22. Let's check: CA (39M+), TX (29M+), so those two. Wait, maybe the question's map: looking at the options, CA and TX are the ones with over 25M. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's confirm: California (CA) population is over 30 million, Texas (TX) over 25 million. Florida is around 22 million (not over 25), New York around 20, Arizona around 7. So the correct ones are California (CA) and Texas (TX). Wait, but maybe the map's legend: if the darkest color is over 25M, then CA (dark red), TX (dark red), maybe FL? Wait no, FL's population is ~22. Let's check official data: CA: ~39M, TX: ~29M, FL: ~22M, NY: ~20M, AZ: ~7M. So over 25M: CA, TX.

Answer:

• California (CA)
• Texas (TX)
