From the webpage-

https://www.google.co.in/publicdata/explore?ds=kf7tgg1uo9ude_&met_y=population&hl=en&dl=en#!ctype=l&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h&met_y=population&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&rdim=country&idim=state:18000&ifdim=country&hl=en_US&dl=en&ind=false

it was found out that population of the state Indiana was 6.0919 million in the year 2000 and 6.3327 million in the year 2006.
Now, 6.0919 million= 6.0919×10⁶=6,091,900
And 6.3327 million= 6.3327×10⁶=6,332,700

Conclusion:

Thus, using data available in the internet the population of the state Florida for the year 2000 and a year after that was found out.
