Question

Create a scatterplot for the following population data, using t = 0 to stand for 1950. Then
estimate the population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005. Note: Population
values are in thousands. (Hint: Begin by determining which row is the x-value and which row
is the y-value)

Answer 1

Answer:

The population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005 was 371.2 , 1671.64 and 2064.74 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

We will use equation calculator to find the equation of given plot

$y = 483.36 \times e^0.0264x$

We are supposed to find the population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005.

x values are years

y values are population

For 1940, $x = -10, y = y = 483.36 \times e^{0.0264(-10)} = 371.2$

For 1997, $x = 47, y = y = 483.36 \times e^{0.0264 \times 47} = 1671.64$

For 2005,$x = 55, y = y = 483.36 \times e^{0.0264 \times 55} = 2064.74$

Hence The population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005 was 371.2 , 1671.64 and 2064.74 respectively.
