between 2007 and 2008, olympia, wa grew almost 3% to a population of 245 thousand people. if this growth rate was to continue, what would the population of olympia be in 2014?



Answer :

The population of Olympia would be in 2014 is 293008 people.

As we did before, we first need to define what year will correspond to n=0.

Since, we know that the population in 2008,it would make sense to have 2008 correspond to n=0, then year 2014 would then be n = 6.

we have Probability (P) = 245000.

We know that,

The growth rate is 3%, given r = 0.03

Using explicitly form,

A = 245000 (1+0.03)⁶

  = 245000 (1.19405)⁶

  = 292542.25

The model predicts that in 2014, Olympia would have a population of about 293008 people.
