Create a scatterplot for the following population data, using t = 0 to stand for 1950. Then estimate the population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005. Note: Population
values are in thousands. (Hint: Begin by determining which row is the x-value and which row
is the y-value)

The population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005 was 371.2 , 1671.64 and 2064.74 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

We will use equation calculator to find the equation of given plot

We are supposed to find the population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005.

x values are years

y values are population

For 1940,

For 1997,

For 2005,

Hence The population of Namibia in the years 1940, 1997, and 2005 was 371.2 , 1671.64 and 2064.74 respectively.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
