The population of a town over the years 2000-2007 is shown in the given figure. It can be inferred that during 2000-2007,
The question requires us to analyze the rate of population growth from 2000 to 2007. Let's examine the data in the provided graph.
From the graph, the population values are:
- 2000: 50,000
- 2001: 50,400
- 2002: 51,600
- 2003: 53,600
- 2004: 56,400
- 2005: 60,000
- 2006: 64,400
- 2007: 69,600
We first calculate the annual increases in population:
- 2001 - 2000: 50,400 - 50,000 = 400
- 2002 - 2001: 51,600 - 50,400 = 1,200
- 2003 - 2002: 53,600 - 51,600 = 2,000
- 2004 - 2003: 56,400 - 53,600 = 2,800
- 2005 - 2004: 60,000 - 56,400 = 3,600
- 2006 - 2005: 64,400 - 60,000 = 4,400
- 2007 - 2006: 69,600 - 64,400 = 5,200
Next, we observe the increments in these annual increases:
- 2002 increase - 2001 increase: 1,200 - 400 = 800
- 2003 - 2002: 2,000 - 1,200 = 800
- 2004 - 2003: 2,800 - 2,000 = 800
- 2005 - 2004: 3,600 - 2,800 = 800
- 2006 - 2005: 4,400 - 3,600 = 800
- 2007 - 2006: 5,200 - 4,400 = 800
The increments of 800 per year indicate that the rate of increase in the rate of increase of the population is consistent and linear.
Therefore, the correct answer is: the rate of increase of the rate of increase of the population increased linearly.
Important Questions from Data Interpetation (Notes)

- There are two examinations, A and B in a subject which are evaluated out of 30 and 70 marks, respectively. In order to pass the course the student has to get at least 40 % in total and at least 40 % in B. The following are the marks of the students $S_1$ to $S_4$.
Students A B $S_1$ 12 28 $S_2$ 10 29 $S_3$ 16 27 $S_4$ 05 29
The only student/s to have passed is/are
