To predict the population in the year 2030 using the given linear model, we substitute X = 30 into the equation y = 0.83x + 30:
y = 0.83(30) + 30
y = 24.9 + 30
y = 54.9
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. In 2030 the population of the state will be 54.9 million people.
The population growth of a state since 2000 and millions of people is represented by a linear model using the trend line y=0.83x +30 predict the population,y, in the year, 2030. Let X.=30 because the year 2030 is 30 years after the year 2000. A. In 2030 the population of the state will be 54.9 million people.B. In 2030 the population of the state will be 0.83 million people.C. In 2030 the population of the state will be 30.03 million people.d. In 2030 the population of the state will be 60.83 million people.
