Answer-
The estimated population in 2013 is 3081.
Solution-
This can be represented as exponential decreasing function,
[tex]y=a(1 - r)^t[/tex]
Where,
-
a = starting amount
- r = rate
- t = years
Putting the values,
[tex]y=3901(1 - 0.018)^{13}[/tex]
[tex]=3901(0.982)^{13}[/tex]
[tex]=3901\times 0.7897[/tex]
[tex]=3080.62[/tex]
As population can not be in fraction, so after rounding off the estimated population in 2013 is 3081.
