4. The population of the United States in two different years is shown in the table below. United States Population Year | Population 2000 | 281,421,906 2010 | 308,745,538 The total land area of the United States is 3,541,447 square miles. Based on this information, which is closest to the overall change in population density, in people per square mile, for the United States between 2000 and 2010? A 0.13 people per square mile B. 0.77 people per square mile C. 7.72 people per square mile D. 16.67 people per square mile

Step 1
Population in 2010 = 306,745,538 Population in 2000 = 281,421,906 Change in population = Population in 2010 - Population in 2000 = 306,745,538 - 281,421,906 = 25,323,632 Show more…

The total area of a coastal city is 92.1 square miles, of which 11.3 square miles is water. If the city had a population of $621,000$ people in the year $2010,$ which of the following is closest to the population density, in people per square mile of land area, of the city at that time? $$\begin{array}{ll}{\text { A) }} & {6,740} \\ {\text { B) }} & {7,690} \\ {\text { C) }} & {55,000} \\ {\text { D) }} & {76,000}\end{array}$$
Us population The table gives the population of theUnited States, in millions, for the years $1900-2010 .$ Use a calculator with exponential regression capability to model the US population since $1900 .$ Use the model to estimate the population in 1925 and to predict the population in the year $2020 .$ $$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \text { Year } & {\text { Population }} \\ \hline 1900 & {76} \\ \hline 1910 & {92} \\ \hline 1920 & {106} \\ \hline 1940 & {131} \\ {1950} & {150} \\ \hline\end{array}$$$$ \begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \text { Year } & {\text { Population }} \\ \hline 1960 & {179} \\ {1970} & {203} \\ \hline 1990 & {220} \\ {2000} & {281} \\ {2010} & {310} \\ \hline\end{array}$$
