The population P (in thousands) of a certain city from 2000 through 2014 can be modeled by P = 160.3e ^kt, where t represents the year, with t = 0 corresponding to 2000. In 2007, the population of the city was about 164,075.
(a) Find the value of k. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
K=___________
Is the population increasing or decreasing? Explain.
(b) Use the model to predict the populations of the city (in thousands) in 2020 and 2025. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
| 2020 | P = | thousand people |
| 2025 | P = | thousand people |
(c) According to the model, during what year will the population
reach 210,000?

This exercise deals with data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census
on populations of major cities.† These data allow us to find how
fast the population is growing and when it will reach certain
levels. Such calculations are very important, because they indicate
the future needs of the population for goods and services and how
well the area can support the population.

The cost of a daily newspaper varies from city to city. However,
the variation among prices remains steady with a population
standard deviation of $0.20. A study was done to test the claim
that the mean cost of a daily newspaper is $1.00. Thirteen costs
yield a mean cost of $0.95 with a standard deviation of $0.18. Do
the data support the claim at the 1% level?
