Calculate this value with the two different data sets. Are they nearly the same?

P(t) = P₀(1 − rate)^t
Let the year 1998 correspond with t = 0.

Evaluate P(22).

Answers will vary depending on the rate estimate. ≈ 34,336,000(rate)

Approximate growth in population = P₀(growth factor).
Find growth factor in part (a).
