The right side of a population pyramid represents which group?

• A. Males
• B. Infants only
• C. Females
• D. Non-binary

Answer: (C)

A population pyramid maps people by age groups across both sexes, so you can compare how many are in each age range for males and for females. The left-hand side shows males, and the right-hand side shows females. This means the bars on the right represent the number of females in each age group—young to old—allowing you to see, for example, how many females are in the 20–24 age range versus how many males are there in that same range. While infants appear at the bottom of both sides, the key point is that the right side specifically represents females, not infants only or non-binary individuals.
