You're talking about a population.

Populations consist of… people.

How about a human population?

sopooneo | karma 2549 | avg karma 2.2 · | 2016-12-04 19:49:14

Or populations.

Right! It's about populations, not individuals.

tel | karma 10892 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2014-03-10 17:10:40

You're using baked-in world population distribution information exactly to make that statement.

When you're talking about an individual, of course. When you're talking about a population - what is replacing that?

qihqi | karma 149 | avg karma 1.37 · | 2021-12-31 10:35:29

Population: One?

empiko | karma 542 | avg karma 5.59 · | 2023-09-03 16:28:31

What about a population with that size AND age distribution?

scruple | karma 3628 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2019-08-23 16:11:49+00:00

Okay, but you have to define large, don't you? What is the population size you have in mind?

ThinkBeat | karma 3644 | avg karma 2.66 · | 2022-08-26 07:56:06

We are talking about an awfully high number of people right now. I was thinking on a global scale.

bJGVygG7MQVF8c | karma 32 | avg karma 0.15 · | 2020-05-20 11:11:47+00:00

I think the word you're reaching for is "populace"

darawk | karma 12494 | avg karma 3.36 · | 2018-09-28 21:09:39+00:00

Maybe you should read what I said. I used population density in response to someone else using it.

trendoid | karma 228 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2013-11-07 18:39:35+00:00

basically like global population.

gbrown | karma 2230 | avg karma 3.07 · | 2020-08-21 20:26:30

You’re ignoring the finite population and the actual numbers involved.

ldjkfkdsjnv | karma 2446 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2022-04-19 00:36:39

You could ask this question about many human populations

staticautomatic | karma 3422 | avg karma 2.18 · | 2021-02-15 05:05:43

You mean n. N is population size.

Chris2048 | karma 2919 | avg karma 0.51 · | 2020-04-27 06:29:13

Do you not understand what an example is?

multiple 200 by whatever number you feel will represent a true population.

I don't mean to be a pedantic jerk, and I'm only mentioning it because I would want to be corrected similarly: I think the word you meant to use was 'populace', not 'populous'.

OscarCunningham | karma 4629 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2021-08-17 07:32:02

Yeah, that's what I meant. (Except that the world population is now nearly 8 billion.)
