On average, every minute of every day, 158 babies are born. The bar graph represents the results of a single day of births, deaths, and population increase worldwide. Exercises 25-26 are based on the information displayed by the graph.
Each day, the number of births in the world exceeds twice the number of deaths by 72 thousand.
a. If the population increase in a single day is 228 thousand, determine the number of birth and deaths per day.
b. If the population increase in a single day is 228 thousand, by how many millions of people does the worldwide population increase each year? Round to the nearest million.
c. Based on your answer to part (b), approximately how many years does it take for the population of the world to increase by an amount greater than the entire U.S. population (315 million)?

What is the least amount of money that Clement spends on the stickers? 1.arrow_forwardAmericans' trust in government and the media has generally been on a downward trend since pollsters first asked questions on these topics in the second half of the twentieth century. Trust in government hit an all-time low of 14% in 2014, while trust in the media bottomed out at 32% in 2016. The bar graph shows the percentage of Americans trusting in the government and the media for five selected years. Use this information to answer parts a-c. a. Use the information in the graph to estimate the yearly loss in the percentage of people trusting in government. The yearly loss in the percentage of people trusting in government is 36 %. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) b. Write a mathematical model that estimates the percentage, P, of people trusting in government x years after 2003. The mathematical model P = estimates the percentage, P, of people trusting in government x years after 2003. (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.
