(A) Draw a scatter plot of the data and a graph of the model on the same axes.


(B) If the population of Idaho in 2010 was about 1.6 million, use the model to estimate the number of licensed drivers in Idaho in 2010 to the nearest thousand.


(C) If the number of licensed drivers in Rhode Island in 2006 was about 0.75 million, use the model to estimate the population of Rhode Island in 2010 to the nearest thousand.
