Answer:

C. 72 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the appropriate value of x into the correct formula and do the arithmetic.

... For the year 2002, x = 2002 -1980 = 22.

Then the population estimate is ...

... h(22) = 51.42 +15.473·log(22)

... = 51.42 +15.473·1.3424

... = 51.42 +20.77

... = 72.19 ≈ 72 . . . . million . . . . . matches choice C.
