Complete Question Explanation
Resolve the Paradox. The correct answer choice is (E)
This question requires an explanation for the greater variation among current population estimates for the rapidly growing city.
Answer choice (A):The uniformity of population changes over time is not relevant to this discussion of current population estimates, and if anything this information would appear to make the rapidly growing city’s estimates more predictable.
Answer choice (B): The reason for the city’s rapid population growth does not explain why estimates of the current population would vary so.
Answer choice (C): This answer is incorrect, as it is not relevant to the variation in current population estimates.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice offers a breakdown of the estimation procedures, but does not help to explain why these estimates varied more for the rapidly growing city than for the others.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice. If the companies used different methods to estimate the current population of the growing city, this could help explain why their estimates varied more than those of the other two cities, for which they used similar methods.
