4G 46:58 Problem 1 You are in the process of designing a water supply system for the whole Iligan City, and the design life of your system is to end in the year 2070. The population in the town has been measured every 10 years since 1980 by the Philippine Statistics Authority, and the reported populations are tabulated below. Estimate the population in the town using (a) arithmetic growth projection, (b) geometric growth projection (exponential formula), (c) declining growth projection (assuming a saturation concentration of 480,000 people), and (d) logistic curve projection. Population Year 1980 167,358 1990 226,568 2000 285,061 2010 322,821 2020 342,618 1.a) Arithmetic growth projection estimate Your answer * 5 points 1.b) Geometric growth * 5 points projection estimate Your answer 1.c) Declining growth projection estimate Your answer * 10 points כ 95
