Every ten years, the Bureau of the Census counts the number of people living in the United States. In 1790, the population of the U.S. was 3.93 million. By 1800, this number had grown to 5.31 million.
Assume that the U.S. population continued to grow at that rate.Estimate the population for the years 1820, 1840, and 1860. Then compare your estimates with the actual population for those years, which were 9.64, 17.06 and 31.44 million, respectively.
