    6000969 people

    Step-by-step explanation:

    if 192031 people represents the 3.2% of the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older, then the entire population of Indiana residents aged 5 or older is 192031/0.032 = 6000969 people

    since

    people that does not speak English very well = total population * proportion of the total population that does not speak English very well

    then

    total population = people that does not speak English very well / proportion of the total population that does not speak English very well
