In the year 1950 the human population was estimated to be about 2,515,000,000. The intrinsic rate of natural increase in 1950 was 1.47. If the population was growing exponentially in 1950 predict the population size in 1951. Show your work below.

Answer:

24,986,087

Explanation:

yes so exponential growth is very going up and the rate goes up because yes.

The population size in 1951 can be predicted to be :  2,551,970,500

Applying Malthus's  population  projection

P = P₁ ( 1 + r ) n  ----- ( 1 )

where :

P ( projected population ) = ?

P₁ ( Recent population ) = 2,515,000,000

r ( intrinsic rate ) = 1.47 %

n ( number of years ) = 1

Given that the population grows exponentially

P = 2,515,000,000 ( 1 + 0.0147 ) * 1

  = 2,551,970,500.

Hence we can conclude that The population size in 1951 can be predicted to be  2,551,970,500
