of children. 'here appears to be ver& few children in central )nited States@ as
those are the states with the least a,ount of large cities.$. Map 2 displa&s the )nited States and ,a?or cities of the )nited States. 'he colors within
each state represent the a,ount of children less than five &ears of ageaout of the total
population. 'he legend gives each color a percentage range based off of real data values
for the nu,ber of children less than five &ears of age as co,pared to the total population
within the states. 'he legend seperates the values into five classes. 'he range for the
classes are different. 'he first class has a range of .6F@ the second class has a range of
;.F@ the third class has a range of ;.F@ the fourth class has a range of 1F@ and the fifth
class has an unnown range.
a. Map 2 appears to be fairl& rando, in ter,s of co,paring the population
percentages of children co,pared to the ,a?or cities. So,e areas with ,an&
large cities have a ver& high value of children while others have a ver& low value.

under &ears of age. Map 1 uses real data values while Map 2 uses percantages out of a
total population for which the values are uncertain. Map 1 ,aes has clear breas fro,
state to state as to the values of children while Map 2 appears to have less variation.
