The population of the world in 1987 was 5 billion and the growth rate was estimated at3 percent per year. the population size (in billions) can be modeled by the formula A = 5(1.03)t where t is the number of years after 1987. Find the projected world population in 1995 . Give your answer in terms of billions of people.

6.3 billion people

Step-by-step explanation:

The "base year" is 1987 when there were 5 billion people.  That year corresponds to  t = 0  (t measures years after 1987)

That makes 1995 = 1995 - 1987 = 8, so t = 8.

Evaluate

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
