We are going to estimate the population of the United States based on some information found at a website provided by the US census: http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html That website specifies the followving information A number that represents the current population. We will fix that number for the this project at the value: 307357870 3 rates: every 7 seconds, a birth every 13 seconds, a death " every 35 seconds, a new immigrant Predicting into the future using only these numbers is not very accurate since the rates are likely to change, but it does give you a general idea for short predictions Conly a few years into the future). Longer predictions (100's of years) are likely to be more inaccurate.
