Milk Production The data in the table below represent the number of dairy farms (in thousands) and the amount of milk produced (in billions of pounds) in the United States for various years.
(a) Using a graphing utility, draw a
(b) Using a graphing utility, build a logarithmic model from the data.
(c) Graph the logarithmic function found in part (b) on the scatter diagram.
(d) In 2008, there were 67 thousand dairy farms in the United States. Use the function in part (b) to predict the amount of milk produced in 2008.
(e) The actual amount of milk produced in 2008 was 190 billion pounds. How does your prediction in part (d) compare to this?
