7. Compare your linear function with that of another student or group.

8. In actuality, using a linear gowth model for population is not common. Most models are
exponential models, due to the fact that most populations experience relative growth, i.e.
ZYo growthper year. Linear models for nonlinear relationships like population work only
within a small time frame valid close to the time of the data modeled, Discuss some of
the false conclusions you might reach if you use your linear model for times far from
r980-2008.
