Aaron. Calculation. 2014
The human population in 2050 would be 10,715,465,520. This calculation is a geometric sequence
because it does not increase constantly. Our estimation is reasonable because right now we have 7,125,000,000 people in the world and it will keep increasing.
Script:
[Roy walks into a funeral home to talk to the owner about arranging a funeral]
Roy: Hello Alex!
Alex: Hey Roy.
Roy: So how’s the funeral business going?
Alex: Business has been going good. Since life expectancy is lowering now a days.
Roy: Are you sure? Because I thought that there were 21 births per 1,000 people, while there are 10 deaths per 1,000 people. Meaning, that the human population is growing at 1%.
Alex: Which gender do we see here the most?
Roy: Male.
Alex: Exactly! The reason for that is because we men take more risks in life than women do saying that the life expectancy for men is lower than women's.
Roy: Well, even so I actually heard that the UN estimates that 3.7 billion people on earth will die, but another 6.6 billion people will be born in 36 years from now. Then that would state that the amount of births would double.
Alex: What you’re saying is very true Roy, but because there are many causes of death sometimes there will be more deaths than there are births.
Roy: …. I have to go I have a funeral to arrange,but don't think we finished this conversation Alex.
Alex: Ha, ok then good luck.
Roy: Thanks, bye.
Alex: Bye.
