Problem 3 Recitation The following table gives the approximate population of the US for selected years from 1835 to 1990 1835 1861 1905 1944 1990 30 year population (millions) 20 100 160 280 mx Assume that the population growth can be modeled with an exponential function p = be where x is the year and p is the population in millions. By hand, write the equation in linear form and use linear least squares regression to determine the constants b and m for which the function best fits the data. Use the function to estimate the population in the year 1960. Problem 3 required submission: Handwritten (or printed) answers.
