1990 152.7 2050 224.3
2000 169.8    
(a)
Find the logistic function that models these data. Use x as the number of years after 1950 and report your model with 3 significant digit coefficients.
y = 
251(1+2.56e(−0.0273x))​
 
 
 
(b)
Use the unrounded model to predict the U.S. population (in millions) ages 20–64 in 2005. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
 million
(c)
What year does the unrounded model predict this group's population will reach 200 million?
