Population The resident population of South Carolina (in thousands) was 4024 in 2000 and 4255 in 2005. Assume that the relationship between the population and the year is linear. Let represent 2000. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau) (a) Write a linear model for the data. What is the slope and what does it tell you about the population? (b) Estimate the population in 2002. (c) Use your model to estimate the population in 2004. (d) Use your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find the actual populations in 2002 and 2004. How close were your estimates? (e) Do you think your model could be used to predict the population in 2009? Explain.
