Explanation When we consider the population growth from 1967 to 2017, we can summarize the data as follows. Year Total Population Increment of Population Growth rate 2017 7,550,262,101 843,843,508 12.58% 2007 6,706,418,593 795,852,298 13.46% 1997 5,910,566,295 854,930,163 16.91% 1987 5,055,636,132 826,434,875 19.54% 1977 4,229,201,257 750,147,436 21.56% 1967 3,479,053,821 In this table, the Growth rate of the population is calculated according to the formula; Growth Rate = Increment of the population Total population × 100 % Then the doubling time can be calculated as follows; T double ≈ 70 P Where, T is the doubling time and P is the growth rate. Population doubling time for 2007-2017 T double ≈ 70 P ≈ 70 12.58 % ( substituting data ) = 70 12.58 × 100 ( simplifying the percentage ) = 5.5643 × 100 ( upon dividing ) = 556.43 y e a r s ( multiplying by 100 ) Population doubling time for 1997-2007 T double ≈ 70 P ≈ 70 13.46 % ( substituting data ) = 70 13.46 × 100 ( simplifying the percentage ) = 5.2001 × 100 ( upon dividing ) = 520.01 y e a r s ( multiplying by 100 ) Population doubling time for 1987-1997 T double ≈ 70 P ≈ 70 16

Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…
