Question:
As the U.S. population diversifies, the number of White, non-Hispanic individuals (the traditional "White majority") accounts for a smaller percent of the total. The following figure shows data from 1980 and projected to 2050 concerning the numbers of White, non-Hispanics and others (non-Whites or Hispanics) in the U.S. civilian non-institutional population age 16 and older. Let y = W(t) be the function that represents the number of White non-Hispanics and y = O(t) be the function that represents the number of others, where t is the number of years past 1900. Use the figure to complete the following.
(a) Estimate W(100) and O(140).
(b) Find W(120) and explain its meaning.
(c) Find O(90) and explain its meaning.
(d) Find (W - O) (120) and explain its meaning.
(e) Find (W + O) (150) and explain its meaning.
(f) Which of (W - O) (100) and (W - O)(140) is greater? Explain.
