Answer 1

The vertical axis is used to represent the age groups of population

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is a) age groups of the population.

Explanation:

• Using a demographic pyramid, you can see how age and gender are two different factors.
• Demographers, who study populations, employ them.
• A population pyramid is a graph that displays the ages of a population, with male and female members of the population arranged down the centre.
• From youngest at the bottom to oldest at the top, the graph reads.
• It is known as a population pyramid because it takes the appearance of a triangle when a population is expanding (more children are born than are dying).
• Comparing discrepancies between a region's male and female populations can be done using a population pyramid.

The vertical axis represents the age groups of the population.
