The following box plot shows the U.S. population for 1990, the latest available year. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY) a. Are there fewer or more children (age 17 and under) than senior citizens (age 65 and over)? How do you know? b. 12.6% are age 65 and over. Approximately what percentage of the population are working age adults (above age 17 to age 65)?

The figure shows the number of people in the United States age 65 and over, with projected figures for the year 2020 and beyond. a. Let $x$ represent the number of years after 1899 and let $y$ represent the U.S. population age 65 and over, in millions. Use your graphing utility to find the model that best fits the data in the bar graph. b. Rewrite the model in terms of base $e$ . By what percentage is the 65 and over population increasing each year?
