Official Explanation

Supported

Sort the table by Population 2010 to quickly identify countries with a population greater than 150 million: Brazil, Indonesia, United States, India, and China. For each of these five countries, use the calculator to determine the number of foreign-born inhabitants. In Brazil, 0.34% of 190,733,000 inhabitants are foreign-born, so 0.0034 × 190,733,000 = 648,492 inhabitants are foreign born. In Indonesia, 0.07% of 237,556,000 inhabitants are foreign-born, so 0.0007 × 237,556,000 = 166,289 inhabitants are foreign-born. In the United States, 21.81% of 312,399,000 inhabitants are foreign-born, so 0.2181 × 312,399,000 = 68,134,222 inhabitants are foreign-born. In India, 0.52% of 1,210,193,000 inhabitants are foreign-born, so 0.0052 × 1,210,193,000 = 6,293,004 inhabitants are foreign-born. In China, 0.29% of 1,399,725,000 inhabitants are foreign-born, so 0.0029 × 1,399,725,000 = 4,059,203 inhabitants are foreign-born. The country with the median number of foreign-born inhabitants is China, so the statement is supported by the table.

Unsupported

The table doesn’t include any information about projected populations for the year 2030, so the statement is not supported by the table.

Supported

Sort the table by % of Population Foreign-Born to quickly identify the country with the greatest percentage of foreign-born inhabitants. Of the countries listed, Andorra has the greatest percentage of inhabitants who are foreign-born, so the statement is supported by the table.

Andorra’s rank for the number of foreign-born inhabitants is greater than that for all other countries listed.

Third statement is about numbers, not about percentage. Thus, if we calculate numbers of foreign born inhabitants, Andorra is not at top for foreign born inhabitants.

Makes sense. The question statements for this problem are a bit ambiguous and open to interpretation.

The third statement is discussing about the number of foreign born Inhibitants, How the percentage of the population supports the argument? As the number of foreign born in Andorra is not the maximum of the given list. Please Explain.­
