The table gives estimates of the world population, in millions, from 1750 to 2000. Year Population 1750 790 1800 980 1850 1260 1900 1650 1950 2560 2000 6080 a. Use the exponential model and the population figures for 1750 and 1800 to predict the world population in 1900 and 1950. Compare with the actual figures.
