A. You are only giving me information about latin america and how their population will increase and a limited amount of details as to what are traditions, religions and so on. I'm not sure at all what the persuasion is in the text above. You have not persuaded me at all. You must persuade someone to think your opinion of a topic is the best way to think of it. You need to think of this similar to a debate. Pro and Con, you must argue the pro for whatever your point is...which as I said I am not sure what it is. Good Luck!

A. The model is y = Ae^(Bx) where y is population, in millions, and x is the year minus 1900. We need to scale x to keep the x values reasonable. The two equations are 76 = Ae^(0B) 92 = Ae^(10B) The first equation tells us that A = 76 since e^0 = 1. Plug into the second equation, 92 = 76e^(10B) e^(10B) = 92/76 Take the ln of both sides, 10B = ln(92/76) = 0.191055237 So B = 0.019105524 and the equation is y = 76e^(0.019105524x) In 2000, x = 100, so y = 76e^[(0.019105524)(100)] = 76e^(1.910552368) y = 513.5183213 <-- population in 2000 The observed population is 275, so the model is overestimating.

A. (a) The least squares regression line is y = 44.392 - 0.0209x where x is the year and the estimate for 2011 would be 2.36 persons. (b) The slope is therefore -0.0209 persons per year. That means the average occupancy is falling by about one person every 50 years. (c) For x = 2300, y = -3.7, which is clearly nonsense. (d) The minimum occupancy could be zero, if everyone was a vagrant and no one ever lived at an address; or 1.0 if everyone has to be listed as living somewhere ! The problem with this analysis arises from the assumption that the relationship is a straight line. Obviously it's not.

A. A. The increase of population from1900 to 1910 was 16 mil which is 21.05% increase. Using that as the percentage in the formula, and 76 as the initial population, the equation is: 76 e^.2105t where t is the number of decades past 1900. The discrepency could be a larger percentage increase between 1900 and 1910 than other decades. B. Using 1970 and 1980 gives a different percentage of increase at 11.82%. The equation now changes to: 203 e^.1182t with t = # of decades so the population prediction is 289.4 mil in 2000 and 325.7 mil. in 2010

I'm being facetious, of course, but that's where a LOT of economic and political decisions are made. From poorly thought out emotional preconceptions. If we were to allow in all the immigrants that want to come to the US, with no restrictions of any kind, most of the world would end up in the US, and the sheer weight would tip over the earth and make it plunge... well... somewhere...
