Chapter 11.3, Problem 39E
Immigration The following graph shows how immigration (in thousands) to the United States has varied over the past century. Source: Homeland Security.
- (a) Find the average annual rate of change in immigration for the first half of the century (from 1910 to 1960).
- (b) Find the average annual rate of change in immigration for the second half of the century (from 1960 to 2010).
- (c) Find the average annual rate of change in immigration for the entire century (from 1910 to 2010).
- (d) Average your answers to parts (a) and (b), and compare the result with your answer from part (c). Will these always be equal for any two time periods?
- (e) If the annual average rate of change for the last half-century continues, predict the number of immigrants in 2013. Compare your answer to the actual number of 990,553 immigrants.
