1. population density is the average number of people per square mile or square kilometer. What country would have a lower population density, Norway or Italy? Why?
2. Russia's population density is about 22 people per square mile. Does this mean that every square mile in Russia has about 22 people? Explain.

1)Population of Italy: 56,735,130 (July 1999 est.) and 192.96 per Squared Km.
Population of Norway: 4,438,547 (July 1999 est.) and 14.42 per Squared Km.
2)Russia's Population density is about 22 people per squared mile that doesn't necessarily mean that there are 22 people in Russia in every squared mile because there are some areas in in Russia that are more populated than others. The population density number is used to give a more accurate idea about how many people actually live in that country.

You need to find out the population of Norway and Italy in order to answer the 1st question and find out how big each country is.
The question tells you that population density is the AVERAGE number of people per square mile or kilometer. Question 2 wants to know if every square mile of Russia has 22 people,well of course not, it has an average of 22 people per square mile. There might be more or less than 22 people. It depends on where the square mile is located.
Hope that helps!

1. idk
2. No, it means that all the people in Russia devided by the area of Russia is 22. There are places in Russia where there are much more than 22 people per square mile and places with not even 1 person per square mile. Russia is so big that its population density is hard to understand. I am not 100% sure about that but I am fairly positive.

pop density is the number of people over the number of miles squared.
eg. pop:100 people
Area: 100 square miles
pop density = 1 person per sq mile
so the 22 is an average. If everyone in russia were perfectly evenly distributed around the entire country there would be 22 in every sq mile. But in fact there is very high pop density in the cities very low in the countryside...
