1. You have been hired as a consultant for the City of Los Angeles. City planners need to understand population data and use the data to predict the population in the future. Having a good estimate of the city's population helps the planners decide how much money will be needed for city maintenance and services, and helps local officials anticipate the needs for housing, school and other construction, and much more. Your work begins with finding the population of Los Angeles in the United States Census for 1920 to 2010. The U.S. Census Bureau data for the City of Los Angeles 1920-2010 appears in table below.

The economic activity of a country is often quantified as the gross domestic product (GDP), which is the sum of private and government consumption, investments, and net exports (the value of exports minus the value of imports). For a developed country such as the United States, economists might see a GDP growth rate of 3% a year as reasonable. However, production and consumption create some pollution. By how much would pollution per dollar of GDP have to decline for pollution levels 50 years from now to be the same as current levels, assuming a 3% annual growth rate of GDP? In 75 years? In 100 years? (Hint: Let the current pollution level be 1 and find out what the future pollution level would be).
Find evidence that can explain how the difference in GDP influences the health of people who reside in that country. Here, you are identifying a determinant of health and at least one risk factor. Summarize what you found and justify the determinant of health and risk factor. Cite in - in text citation . explain in 4 sentences or more.
