QUESTION 4

Proportional Symbol

CITY POPULATION
A 100,000
B 150,000
C 200,000
D 500,000

1. Calculate the size of the proportional symbols using Square Root Methods and Flannery
methods.

SQUARE ROOT METHOD FLANNERY METHOD

1. Population of City A: 100,000; 1. Population of City A: 100,000;


   
 Log 100,000 =5
   5 X 0.57 = 2.85
 Anti logarithm 2.85 = 707.946
2. Population of City B: 150,000; 
2. Population of City B: 150,000;
   

Log 150,000 = 5.176
  
5.176 X 0.57 = 2.95
Anti logarithm 2.95 = 891.251
3. Population of City C: 200,000;
   
 3. Population of City C: 200,000;
   Log 200,000 = 5.301
5.301 X 0.57 = 3.02
4. Population of City D: 500,000; Anti logarithm 3.02 = 1051.962
   

   4. Population of City D: 500,000;
Log 500,000 = 5.699
5.699 X 0.57 = 3.248
Anti logarithm 3.248 = 1770.109
