P = A.e^(r.t) is the population growth formula, where A is the initial population in a given year, exponent "r" =growth rate and exponent t = time
A₍₁₉₉₅₎ = 184 Mil. after t = 7 years, P₍₂₀₀₂₎ = 188 Mil
Let's calculate te growth rate:
P₍₂₀₀₂₎ = A₍₁₉₉₅₎.e^rt
188 = 184.e(^7r)
188/184 = e^(7r)
ln(188/184) = 7.r.lne
0.0215 = 7.r and r = 0.0030 = 0.3%
Population in 2006
P₍₂₀₀₆₎ = P₍₂₀₀₂₎.e⁽⁰.⁰⁰³ˣ⁴
P₍₂₀₀₆₎ = 188.e⁰.⁰¹² = 190.2 Mil
