What is the population of the fourth largest city in a country where the rank-size rule applies, if the largest city is one million (1,000,000) in population?

a. 250,000

b. 333,333

c. 500, 000

d. 666,667

Answer:

a. 250000

Explanation:

This question links to applied human geography of cities & urban land use it shows a models of urban hierarchies where the right tool of population measurement is the rank-size rule.

The rank size rule helps us understand that the nth largest city in a given country can be calculated by understanding that the integer of interest can be used to divide largest city's population. In this case of the nth population of the population of the largest city in a given country is equal to 1/n of the population of the largest city in a given country.

Thus, like in the question the largest city in a given country has a population of 1,000,000, yet we seek to find the population of the fourth largest city in the given country.

According to the formula above;

nth= I/n × population of largest city

4th = 1/4 × 1000000

4th largest city= 250000 people

Hence the 4th largest city has a population of 250000 people in it.

  • Answer:

The fourth largest city will have a population of 250,000

Explanation:

Rank Size Rule is a simple model which states that population size of a given city tends to be equal to the population of the largest city divided by the rank of the given city

The rank size rule states that the nth largest city in a given country will have \frac{1}{n} of the population of the largest city in that country. If the largest city has a population 1,000,000, and we want to know the population of the fourth largest city, it will have \frac{1}{4} of the population of the largest city.

From the question,

Fourth (4th) largest city population = \frac{1}{4} x \frac{1,000,000}{1}

= \frac{1,000,000}{4}

=250,000

Karolina [17]

Answer:

b. Believing that your irresponsible attitude and your need to always voice your opinion are the reason that your parents have grounded you.

Explanation:

That belief that  you are responsible for something when it's not supported by facts, is an internal attribution.  Maybe there's another reason why you were grounded, we don't know for sure.

Internal attributions always focuses the explanation or the shift of the responsibility onto ourselves, not any exterior factor.

<u>Answer A and D</u> are putting the responsibility/blame on exterior factors than your own, things that are "out of your control", so these<u> are external attributions.</u>

Answer:

Competitive exclusion

Explanation:

Competitive exclusion is a concept that explains the process that occurs when two closely related species population coexist or occupy the same ecological niche. The two species share and compete the for same resources under the same condition.

Along the line, one species with the greatest fitness outcompetes the other, thereby leading to the outnumbering if the other species.

The population of the fittest increase, while the others population begin to decline.

This concept of competitive exclusion is what the graph above exemplifies.
