Using a graphic utility, draw a
Using a graphic utility, build a logistic model from the data.
Using a graphic utility, graph the function found in part (b) on the scatter plot.
Based on the function found in part (b), what is the carrying capacity of the United States?
Use the function found in part (b) to predict the population of the United States in
When will the United States population be
