The population of a city in 2005 was 18,000. By 2010, the city’s population had grown to 32,800. If the population growth follows a linear model, what is the projected population for 2015?

Answer :

The rate is (32,800 - 18,000) = 14,800 per 5 years 
therefore : 
in 2015 = 2010 + 5 years 
the pop. will be : 
32,800 + 14,800 = 47,600

The projected population in 2015, assuming that the population growth follows a linear model is 47600

  • Population in 2005 = 18000
  • Population after 5 years(2010) = 32800

Population change in 5 years :

  • 2010 population - 2005 population

  • 32800 - 18000 = 14800

Estimated population value in 2015 :

  • 2010 Population + population change in 5 years

  • 32800 + 14800 = 47600

Therefore, the projected population size in 2015 is 47600
