1930	123.1 million
1940	132.1 million
1950	152.3 million

If the maximum supportable population of the U.S. is 600 million people, use the logistic model to predict the population (in millions of people) of the U.S. in 2010 by using the following years as data points.

(a)using 1930 and 1940 as data points

(b)using 1950 and 1960 as data points

Compare/contrast/explain the different results.
