Zoology Example The US population of Bighorn Sheep was 1170 in 1971. The population was 335 by 1999. What year might only five Bighorn Sheep remain in the US if the decay rate remains constant? 1971 = year 0 Put the data into a list (0, 1170) and (28, 335) Use Exponential Regression to get the equation. Y = 1170 x .9563x
