  2. Population density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density

    Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county, city, country, another territory or the entire world . The world's population is around 8,000,000,000 [3 ...

  3. List of countries and dependencies by population density

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and...

    This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries.

  4. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Number density. The number density (symbol: n or ρN) is an intensive quantity used to describe the degree of concentration of countable objects ( particles, molecules, phonons, cells, galaxies, etc.) in physical space: three-dimensional volumetric number density, two-dimensional areal number density, or one-dimensional linear number density.

  5. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

    In males, mean percentage body fat ranged from 23% at age 16–19 years to 31% at age 60–79 years. In females, mean percentage body fat ranged from 32% at age 8–11 years to 42% at age 60–79 years. But it is important to recognise that women need at least 9% more body fat than men to live a normal healthy life. [2]

  6. Weighted arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean

    The weighted arithmetic mean is similar to an ordinary arithmetic mean (the most common type of average ), except that instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others. The notion of weighted mean plays a role in descriptive statistics and also occurs in a more general ...

  7. Urban density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_density

    Population-weighted density - a density metric which measures the density at which the average person lives. It is determined by calculating the standard density of each census tract, assigning each a weight equal to its share of the total population, and then adding the segments. Residential density - the number of dwelling units in any given ...

  8. Physiological density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_density

    The physiological density or real population density is the number of people per unit area of arable land . A higher physiological density suggests that the available agricultural land is being used by more and may reach its output limit sooner than a country that has a lower physiological density. Egypt is a notable example, with physiological ...

  9. Prehistoric demography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_demography

    A small human effective population size, on the order of 10,000 individuals, which is smaller than the effective population size of most great apes, has been interpreted as a result of a very long history, starting ? 2 mya, of a small population size, coined as the long-necked bottle model (Harpending et al. 1998; Hawks et al. 2000).
