USE THE POPULATION GROWTH MODEL BELOW TO PREDICT THE POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY 1 YEAR FROM NOW, 10 YEARS FROM NOW, 100 YEARS FROM NOW, AND 1000 YEARS FROM NOW. ARE ALL OF THESE PREDICTIONS APPROPRIATE? WHY?

dq 1

Choose one country that you might visit during your mission trip for the course project. Select a duration for your trip between two and six weeks, and then choose a number of participants between 5 and 10 people. Suppose one goal of your group is to speak to every adult citizen in the country. How many citizens must each missionary need to talk to per day, per hour, and per second to speak to every adult citizen in that country? Is that goal reasonable?
dq 2

A deductive argument is valid if the conclusion necessarily follows from the premises. It is sound if it is valid and the premises are true.

Pick three of the following arguments and clearly explain why each argument is or is not valid or sound.

1. No human lives in outer space. Susie lives in outer space. Thus, Susie is not human.
2. All birds can fly. Ostriches are birds. Therefore, ostriches can fly.
3. All jobs are easy. Walking is not a job. Hence, walking is not easy.
4. When it rains, it snows. It is snowing. Therefore, it is raining.
5. No dog is a cat. Billy is a cat. Thus, Billy is not a dog.
6. If someone is a medical doctor, they are smart. Dr. Oz is a medical doctor. So, Dr. Oz is smart.
7. Whichever candidate receives the greatest share of the popular vote is elected President of the United States. Al Gore received more votes than George Bush. Therefore, Al Gore was elected President of the United States.

MAT144 Week 2 Discussion

dq 1

From the Course Materials, click the link to The World Factbook on the CIA website to find the current population and growth rate for a country of your choice. Use the population growth model below to predict the population of the country 1 year from now, 10 years from now, 100 years from now, and 1000 years from now. Are all of these predictions appropriate? Why?

Use the model P(t) = P0(1+r)twhere
P0= current population
r = the population growth rate
t = time in years from now
P(t) = population t years from now

dq 2

In DQ 1, you predicted the population 10 years from now for the country you chose. Now calculate another projection of the population for 10 years from now and add 1% to the growth rate. Did the new 10-year population projection also increase by 1%? What do your findings signify?
