Question

You ask your friend which U.S. states have the greatest population densities. Your friend says it must be California and Texas because they have the greatest populations. Is your friend correct? Explain.
-No, because the states with the smallest populations will have the greatest population densities.
-Yes, because the states with the greatest populations will have the greatest population densities.
-No, because California and Texas also have two of the greatest areas, so they may not have the greatest population densities.
-Yes, because California and Texas also have two of the greatest areas, and combined with the greatest populations, this results in the greatest population densities.

Answer 1

"-No, because California and Texas also have two of the greatest areas, so they may not have the greatest population densities." 

This is correct as the states such as New Jersey may not have as large as a population as Texas and California but, have a significantly less land than those states. Population density refers to people per km squared, which takes both land and population into account.
