Answer

Wrong.
Dot method maps or choropleth method maps are used to show population distribution
  • Distribution of a population is discontinuous.
  • Isopleth method maps are used to show the distribution of variables which are continuous. For eg. altitude, temperature etc.
  • Thus, isopleth method maps are not used to show population distribution.
