ACS data products include 1-year estimates, 3-year estimates, and 5-year estimates. Which of the following statements is false about American Community Survey (ACS) data? The Census Bureau produces 1-year estimates for geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or greater, 3-year estimates for areas with populations of 20,000 or greater, and 5-year estimates for areas of any size but best for small populations. Single-year estimates are more current and more reliable statistically than multiyear estimates. Question 3 10 pts Counties Census Tracts Block Groups Census Blocks Census 2000 was the first in which every U.S. county was subdivided into administrative areas called _______. In all there were approximately 50,000 _______ in 2000, each of which was populated by some 4,000 persons on average. Question 4 10 pts Aruba (positive net migrants) and Cuba (negative net migrants) Turks & Caicos Islands (positive net migrants) and Haiti (negative net migrants) Cayman Islands (positive net migrants) and Barbados (negative net migrants) To demonstrate that you know how to acquire population data from the Census Bureau’s International Data Base, use it to look up 1) the Caribbean country that had the highest Net Number of in-Migrants (positive), and 2) the Caribbean country that had the highest Net Number of out-Migrants (negative) in 2010. Hint: The migration data are obtained via the Components of Population Growth report. Question 5 10 pts Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio One of the questions asked in the 2010 American Community Survey was “what were the actual sales of all agricultural products from this property?” Households were asked to respond by choosing one of the following categories: “None; $1 to $999; $1,000 to $2,499; $2,500 to $4,999; $5,000 to $9,999; $10,000 or more.” What is the level of measurement of the resulting data? Question 6 10 pts Counts (e.g., net number of migrants per country) Rates and Densities (e.g., migrants per 100,000 population) Cartographers recommend that the choropleth (graduated color) mapping technique be used for thematic maps of which kind of data? Question 7 10 pts Highest Upper Middle Lower Middle Lowest You are preparing a thematic map to show the spatial distribution of total fertility rates by countries of North and South America. Follow this link (https://www.eeducation.psu.edu/courses/geog482/graphics/ns_am_fertility.xls) to view the data in a separate window. Your task is to group the data into four quantile classes (i.e., quartiles). In which of the four classes will Venezuela appear? Question 8 10 pts Choropleth (Graduated Color) Unique Values Dot Density Proportional Symbol You are preparing a thematic map of world population by country. Follow this link (https://courseware.e-education.psu.edu/courses/geog482/graphics/world_pop.txt) to see the data in a separate window. Which types of thematic map do cartographers recommend to represent these data? Note: Two of the choices listed below are correct. Select both correct answers. Question 9 10 pts Count data, not classified Density data, not classified Which of the following best describes the attribute data depicted on the thematic map above? Count data, equal interval classification Rate data, percentile classification Question 10 10 pts The upper map shows five quantile classes. The lower map shows five equal interval classes. The upper map shows five equal interval classes. The lower map shows five quantile classes. Both of maps above show estimated migrants per 1,000 population, by country. Both are choropleth maps with five classes. Which of the following is a true statement about the maps? Saving… Submit Quiz
