Method A: use the last estimate of \(r\) (the last one in Table 1. Data for annual growth rate \((r)\) of the human population) to calculate the population for the current year. Also using the last estimate for \(\lambda\), calculate the doubling time for the world's population.

Use a growth rate of 0.7% to predict the population in 2048 of a country that in the year 2006 had a population of 400 million. Use the approximate doubling time formula. What is the predicted population of the country in 2048? Round the final answer to the nearest whole number as needed. Round the doubling time to the nearest year as needed.

Problem #3 A) According to global census data, the global population was 6.00 billion people in 2000 and was 6.78 billion in 2010. Calculate r (the per capita rate of increase) for the human population over this time period. Using this value of r, estimate the projected human population in the year 2025. Show your work. B) Using your estimate of r from the 2000-2010, calculate the "doubling time" of the human population: The doubling time is the time it takes for the population size to double at the current rate of growth.

The population of the world in the year 1650 was 470 million, and in the year 2005 was 6451 million. Assuming that the population of the world grows exponentially, find the equation for the population in millions in the year t. Use your answer from part a to find the population of the world in the year 3. Is your answer to part b reasonable? What does this tell you about how the population of the world grows?
