Use the data in the table below. Estimated Life Expectancy from birth, in years, in the United States in 2001, 2002 by race and
sex. Year All races: Male All races: Female White White: Male White: Female African American African American: Male African American: Female 2002 74.5 79.9 77.7 75.1 80.3 72.3 68.8 75.6 2001 74.4 79.8 77.7 75.0 80.2 72.2 68.6 75.5 Given the exponential model a ∙ bx = (72.3)(1.001)x for an estimated life expectancy in years for an African American, estimate the number of years the average African American will live if they are born in the year 2012. Recall that the variable x from the exponential model represents the number of years after 2002.
