1 answer
To predict the population in the year 2030 using the given linear model \( y = 0.83x + 30 \), we set \( x = 30 \) (since 2030 is 30 years after 2000).
Substituting \( x \) into the equation:
\[ y = 0.83(30) + 30 \] \[ y = 24.9 + 30 \] \[ y = 54.9 \]
Therefore, in 2030, the population of the state will be 54.9 million people.
So the correct response is: In 2030, the population of the state will be 54.9 million people.
