Population Pyramid Project

Using data from the U.S. Population 2003 hand-out given in class, find the percentage for each age group for females in the U.S.. You can do this by dividing the total population by the specific age group. For example:
Total Population for males according to the hand-out: 139,876.
Males 0 to 4 years: 10,112

10,112 ÷ 139,876 = 7.2% (you might have to multiply the number after the = sign by 100 to get 7.2% on your calculator)

Males are already done for you on the first page.

Then, create a population pyramid using the age groups on the hand out (see pg. 63 - 66 for examples). Use the age groups on the hand-out for the left side of your population pyramid (instead of 0 - 90).
