We assume the annual percentage increase is the same. We will work out the constant k using the formula
We have
P = 76
A = 72
t = 6 years (from 1992 to 1998)
Substitute into the formula
Take log both sides give
We can now work out the number of population by the end of 2012 using the formula
We have
A = 72 million
k = 0.009
t = 10 years (1992 to 2012)
≈79 million

Answer:
The probability is 
Step-by-step explanation:
If she has n distinct password candidates and only one of which will successfully log her into a secure system, the probability that her first first successful login will be on her k-th try is:
If k=1
Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and just one give her a successful login.
If k=2
Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and 1 of that give her a successful login.
If k=3
Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and n-2 that are not correct and after that, she has n-2 possibles options and 1 give her a successful login.
Finally, no matter what is the value of k, the probability that her first successful login will be (exactly) on her k-th try is 1/n
