Answer:

  • 1202.6 thousand
  • 237.6 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population in 1998, fill in the value of t for that year, ...

  t = 1998 -1980 = 18

and do the arithmetic.

  population = 13.2×18 +965 = 237.6 +965 = 1202.6 . . . . thousands

The increase is the amount that is added to 965, which is 237.6 thousand.
