Chapter 3, Problem 84CRE

Population Increase Data were recorded for each of the 50 U.S states: the state, its population in 2000, its population in 2010, and the region in which it is located (Northeast, Midwest, South, or West). Find the percentage population increase for each state by applying the following formula:

$\frac{{\text{pop}}_{2010}-{\text{pop}}_{2000}}{{\text{pop}}_{2000}}\times 100\%$

Write a few sentences comparing the distribution of percentage population increases for regions. Support your description with appropriate graphs.
