Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect because the global sex ratio is approximately balanced, with females making up slightly more than half of the world's population, not 60%. According to estimates, the percentage of females in the world's population is typically around 49-51%, not significantly higher. The other statements are more accurate reflections of global demographics:
A) Less than 1/3 are "white" - This is true, as the majority of the world's population is located in Asia and Africa, where the populations are predominantly non-white.
B) Less than 1/3 are Christian - Christianity is one of the world's largest religions, but it does not comprise the majority of the world's population. A significant portion of the world's population adheres to other religions or has no religious affiliation.
D) Asians make up the largest percentage - This is correct, as Asia is the most populous continent, with countries like China and India contributing to a large proportion of the world's population.
