Solve the Problem A Logarithmic Equation That Models This Data I

question 428

Short Answer

Solve the problem.
-The rates of death (in number of deaths per 100,000 population) for 1-4 year olds in the United States between
1980-1995 are given below. (Source: NCHS Data Warehouse) $$\begin{array} { c | c } \text { Year } & \text { Rate of Death } \\\hline 1980 & 91.4 \\\hline 1985 & 74.5 \\\hline 1990 & 69.3 \\\hline 1995 & 61.3\end{array}$$ A logarithmic equation that models this data i $$y = 822.99 - 167.55 \ln x$$ 167.55 ln x where x represents the number of years
since 1900. Use this equation to predict the rate of death for 1-4 year olds in 2005.
