Chapter 4.3, Problem 10E

Reminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Population Growth A population of animals is growing exponentially, and an ecologist has made the following table of the population size, in thousands, at the start of the given year.

Year	Population, in thousands
$2011$	$5.25$
$2012$	$5.51$
$2013$	$5.79$
$2014$	$6.04$
$2015$	$6.38$
$2016$	$6.70$

Looking over the table, the ecologist realizes that one of the entries for population size is in error. Which entry is it, and what is the correct population? (Round the ratios to two decimal places.)
