Activity 6.01 – Series data selection

In this activity, you will read some US population data for large cities for the years 2010 and 2019 and analyze it. The goal is to determine the population growth for the top three cities compared to all the top 20 from 2010 to 2019. To do this, you must compute the population of the three largest cities for 2010 and 2019, as well as the population of the 20 largest cities for both years. Using these values, you can compute the growth rates and compare them.
