When is annual growth rate more useful than absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When populations of different sizes have to be compared

Correct answer: A. Absolute growth gives the actual number added, but that number is strongly affected by the starting size of a population. Annual growth rate expresses the change relative to the population and usually reports it for one year, often as a percentage. This makes comparison fairer between a large population and a small population. For example, an increase of 10,000 people may be small for a city of one million but very large for a town of 20,000. A is correct because rates support comparison across different population sizes. B and C are unrelated. D is wrong because calculating a growth rate requires reliable population data, commonly from censuses or other estimates. Memory cue: absolute growth answers “how many people”; growth rate answers “how fast compared with the starting size.”
