Question
How long did it take for the population to reach double that amount
Expert Solution
Step 1
Taking the rate of increment as exponential first fits an exponential function to the given data.
Here Assume 1980 is t = 0 then 2010 will be t =30
The curve to be fitted is
taking logarithm on both sides, we get
Y=A+Bx where
which linear in Y,x
So the corresponding normal equations are
The values are calculated using the following table
x | y | Y | x2 | x⋅Y |
0 | 4435 | 3.647 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 4831 | 3.684 | 1 | 3.684 |
2 | 5263 | 3.721 | 4 | 7.442 |
3 | 5674 | 3.754 | 9 | 11.262 |
4 | 6070 | 3.783 | 16 | 15.133 |
5 | 6454 | 3.81 | 25 | 19.049 |
6 | 6864 | 3.837 | 36 | 23.019 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
∑x=21 | ∑y=39591 | ∑Y=26.236 | ∑x2=91 | ∑x⋅Y=79.59 |
Substituting these values in the normal equations
7A+21B=26.236
21A+91B=79.59
Solving these two equations using the Elimination method,
we obtain A=3.654,B=0.032
and
Now substituting these values in the equation is y=aebx, we get
Here y is the population and x is the time.
