I don't have the trend-line value for year 10. To find the two possible actual populations you either need the trend-line equation or the trend-line prediction at year 10.

If the trend-line prediction at year 10 is T, then the actual population could be:
- T − 2,000 or
- T + 2,000

If you give me the trend-line equation (or the predicted population for year 10), I will compute those two numbers (and round to the nearest thousand if you want).
