Answer:

     State                  density (people/ unit area)

  • Calfiornia          223.0
  • Florida               278.3
  • Iowa                     53.1
  • New Jersey      990.7
  • Wyoming              5.3

Explanation:

Population density measures how concentrated are the people of a region.

It is calculated dividing the number of people by the square unit of area:

  • Population density = number of people / square unit of area

This table shows the detailed calculation for every state of the question:

State    Pop. estimate    Area       density (people / unit area)

Cal.      36,500,000     163,707   36,500,000 / 163,707 ≈ 222.96 ≈ 223.0

Florida  18,300,000     65,758    18,300,000 / 65,758 ≈ 278.29 ≈ 278.3

Iowa        2,990,000    56,276   2,990,000 / 56,276   ≈ 53.13 ≈ 53.1

New J.     8,690,000      8,772   8,690,000 / 8,772       ≈ 990.65 ≈ 990.7

Wyoming    522,000      97,818    522,000 / 97,818    ≈ 5.34 ≈ 5.3
