E) The rate depends on immigration, so it can't be computed from this information.Explanation / Answer
1. Asia has more population than all other continents combined. It constitutes about 59% of the total population.
2. The three most numerous ethnic(minority) groups in the United States are Hispanics in the south west, African Americans in the south east and Asian Americans mainly in the west.
3. Here the rate depends upon the total population, so it cant be computed from this information. Because if Country Y has more population compared to Country X, then the natural increase rate is more for Country Y. And if it is less than Country X, then increase rate is less.
