Question 150031
 Assume that the population of South Carolina was 3.1 million in 1980, and grew at a steady 2.5% rate throughout the 80's. 
(a) Find the S.C. population for the years starting 1985 and ending in 1990,
N(1985) = 3.1(1.025)^5 = 3.507...million
N(1990) = 3.1(1.025)^10 = 3.96826... million
--------------------------------------------------------
  
(b) use those population values to calculate the numbers of aggravated assaults in S.C. during those years. 
Your data for aggravated assaults did not appear in your posting.
