The population of Chicago is not given in the table, but it is stated that the cities are ordered by population. Since the population of Los Angeles is smaller than the population of Chicago, but larger than the population of Houston, we can infer that the population of Chicago is greater than 2,380,000 (population of Houston) and less than 4,090,000 (population of Los Angeles).
The value that is closest to the given range is 2.67 x 10^6. Therefore, the population of Chicago could be represented as 2.67 x 10^6.
