Question:
The following data show estimates of the population of Liberia in selected years between 1960 and 2010:
Year | 1960 | 1970 | 1980 | 1990 | 2000 | 2010 |
Population (millions) | 1.1 | 1.4 | 1.9 | 2.1 | 2.8 | 4 |
Calculate the rate of growth of the population in millions per year for 2010.
(a) Use two-point backward difference formula.
(b) Use three-point backward difference formula.
(c) Using the slope in 2010 from part (b), apply the two-point central difference formula to extrapolate and predict the population in the year 2020.
