sorry for the alignment.But that does not matter for the question.
The question is :
For the countries shown in the table, the range of CO2 emissions was higher in 1950 than 1925.
We must choose either "Yes" or "No". The answer is given as "Yes".The explanation given is fairly simple. It just finds the range of CO2 emissions in 1950 and 1925.
But I selected "No" because the data given in the table is " per capita " emissions . So we cannot conclude that the range of CO2 emissions in 1950 and 1925 without actually knowing the total number of people ( population) of each country in any year .
Which is right ? And why ?
