The population of a city in Manitoba is recorded for 20 years and
the data is provided in the table below, where 1981 is year1:
DATA
(Year) 1981 1986 1989 1992 1997 2000
(Population) 69180 65850 64060 63590 62930 62520
a) the decline in population is said to follow a logarithmic model where x=1 represents the year 1981, x=20 represents the year 2000. Graph the data and find the natural logarithmic regression equation that best models the situation.
b) use the graph or equation to determine what the projected population of this city will be in 2015.
