The Fourteenth United States Census, conducted by the Census Bureau one month from January 5, 1920, determined the resident population of the United States to be 106,021,537, an increase of 15.0 percent over the 92,228,496 persons enumerated during the 1910 Census.

Despite the constitutional requirement that House seats be reapportioned to the states respective of their population every ten years according to the census, House seats were not reapportioned after this census.

another Exponential growth and decay question. Please help me!!?
Q. I don't really know what to do with this. I tried doing the slope of the 2 years given but I don't think that's right. The table gives the population of the United States, in millions, for the years 1900-2000. YearPopulation 190076 191092 1920106 1930123 1940131 1950150 1960179 1970203 1980227 1990250 2000275 (a) Use the exponential model and the census figures for 1900 and 1910 to predict the population in 2000. P(2000) = million (b) Use the exponential model and the census figures for 1980 and 1990 to predict the population in 2000. P(2000) = million
Asked by d_kuon - Thu Nov 6 22:30:37 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. a) P(1910) = 76 e^10k = 92 k = ln (92/76)/10 So P(2000) = 76 e^100 ln (92/76)/10 = 513.5 b) P(1990) = 227 e^10k = 250 k = ln (250/227)/10 So P(2000) = 227 e^20 ln (250/227)/10 = 275.3
