Every year Statistics Canada prepares estimates and projections of Canada's population. The estimated population of Canada since 1901 is given in the table above. Questions to Answer for Q7 Answer the following questions about the Canadian population data. a) Use the data from the table to create a scatter plot in a spreadsheet/google sheet. b) Create a curve of best fit (with a polynomial degree of your choice from 2 to 6). Add a trendline & include it with your solution. c) What is the equation of the (polynomial) function that could model this data? d) What is the derivative of this function? e) Predict the population of Canada in 2020. What assumptions do you need to make? f) Make an estimate of the population of Canada in 1973 using the equation of the function. 9) Determine the rate at which the population of Canada is increasing in 1996. h) How long will it take Canada to reach a population of 50,000,000? i) Sketch/plot the derivative of the function. Discuss the properties of the derivative function in relation to the original function.
