Based on the provided statements, we need to evaluate each conclusion regarding the distribution and diffusion of television over time.
-
The number of televisions in the United States grew by 187 percent between 1954 and 2005.
- This statement could be true if the numbers from the table support this specific percentage increase.
-
The U.S. share of global distribution of televisions fell as television was diffused more widely outside the United States.
- This statement is plausible. If the table shows that while the total number of televisions increased globally, the U.S. share decreased, this conclusion can be drawn.
-
Density of television ownership nearly doubled between 1954 and 2005.
- Similar to the first statement, this would require specific data from the table to confirm whether the density (ownership per capita or per household) has nearly doubled.
-
The pattern of distribution was linear and regular due to the effects of hierarchical diffusion.
- To conclude this, one would need to see if the data shows a consistent pattern of growth over time that indicates linearity and hierarchical diffusion tendencies.
-
The natural increase rate grew more rapidly than the number of televisions between 1954 and 2005.
- This conclusion can only be made if the data in the table indicates growth rates of population versus the rate of television ownership.
To analyze these conclusions effectively, we would need to reference actual numerical data from the table, which appears to be absent in this case. Without that data, it's challenging to confidently affirm or reject any of the conclusions, but they present logical implications based on trends one might expect from historical data.
If you have specific data points from the table you're referencing, please provide them, and I can help evaluate the conclusions more accurately.
