Question

Look at the chart called Population in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois from 1800–1830 in Lesson 2. What are three questions you can ask about the chart?

Answer 1

Questions are to be framed according to the variance in the given data.

Explanation:

Q1: Why there is no data available for Illinois?

The answer is rather simple in that the state of Illinois did not exist in 1810

Q2: What is the reason of rapid increase in the population in all the states.

States like Ohio saw a massive population boom in the first few decades of the century, primarily due to expansion.

Q3: How come all three states grew in population at a similar rate throughout?

Very similar methods of expansion and population growth must be responsible for these numbers. The socio economic strata being similar also plays a role here.
