Chapter 4, Problem 21(choose chapter or problem)
The following table gives the population of California in 1995 and in 1997. x (year) y (population) 1995 31,493,525 1997 32,217,708 (a) Find the equation of the linear function whose graph passes through the two (x, y) points given in the table. (b) Use the linear function determined in part (a) to make a projection for the population of California in 2000. (Round your answer to the nearest 1000.) (c) The actual California population for 2000 was 33,871,648. Does the linear function yield a projection that is too high or too low? Compute the percentage error.
