Let's analyze the population data from the given table and determine the missing values.
#### Western Europe:
- Population in 1000: 12 million
- Population in 1450: 22.5 million
We need to find the change in population:
[tex]\[ \text{Change in Western Europe Population} = 22.5 - 12 = 10.5 \text{ million} \][/tex]
#### Eastern Europe:
- Population in 1000: 9.5 million
- Population in 1450: 9.3 million
We need to find the change in population:
[tex]\[ \text{Change in Eastern Europe Population} = 9.3 - 9.5 = -0.2 \text{ million} \][/tex]
This negative value indicates a decline in population for Eastern Europe.
#### Total Population:
- Total in 1000: 38.5 million
- Total in 1450: 50 million
To find the percentage decline in the total population:
First, calculate the initial decline:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Decline} = 38.5 - 50 = -11.5 \text{ million} \][/tex]
Since the population increased overall, the percentage change calculation instead uses:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage Change} = \left( \frac{-11.5}{38.5} \right) \times 100 \approx -29.87\% \][/tex]
Now let’s complete the sentences:
1. This period saw more deaths in western Europe than in eastern Europe.
2. The percentage of population decline during this period was -29.87%.
The sentences with the correct answers in the drop-down menu will be:
- This period saw more deaths in western Europe than in eastern Europe.
- The percentage of population decline during this period was -29.87%.
