Respuesta :

this answer was wrong and not 1100

Answer:

(A) 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

We will form a graph of the points give.

Let x denotes the year and y denotes the population in the corresponding year.

We get the best fir line as :

y =20.225x-39664

Now, to evaluate the population in 2012, we will put x=2012

y = 20.225(2012) - 39664

y = 1028.7

So the best prediction for the population in 2012  is 1000.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
