Pick a country of your choice that is experiencing population growth. Using the Library, web resources, and/or other materials to find the most recent population count of the country you have chosen and the population growth rate of that country. Use that growth rate to approximate the population in the year 2008. Show how each of your approximations were made by including your calculations. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
Example: The population of India in 2005 was 1,080,264,388. The growth rate is 1.4%.
In 2006, the approximate population is 1,095,388,089.
In 2007, approximate population is 1,110,723,523.
In 2008, approximate population is 1,126,273,652.

Once you've chosen a country and found the estimated recent population and the growth rate, you may need to Google the country and population history.

I apologize, but as an AI text-based model, I do not have direct access to the internet or a library to search for the most recent population count of a country or calculate population growth rates. However, I can guide you on how to find this information using credible resources.
To find the most recent population count and population growth rate of a country, you can follow these steps:
1. Choose a country that is experiencing population growth. Let's say we choose China as an example.
2. Access credible sources such as government websites, statistical agencies, or international population databases like the World Bank or the United Nations Population Division.
3. Search for the most recent population count of the country you chose. Look for the latest data available, preferably from a recent census or reliable estimate. Note this population count.
4. Find the growth rate of the country's population. Look for sources that provide historical data on population growth rates, such as annual reports or statistical databases. Look for the most recent growth rate available.
Once you have the most recent population count and growth rate, you can approximate the population in the year 2008 using the following formula:
Approximate Population = Population in Previous Year + (Population in Previous Year x Growth Rate)
For example, let's say the population of China in 2021 is 1,409,517,397, and the annual growth rate is 0.5%.
To approximate the population in 2008, we'll need the population count from the previous year (2007). Assuming we have that data, we can use the formula:
Population in 2007 = Population in 2008 / (1 + Growth Rate)
Then, we can calculate the population in 2006 using the same formula:
Population in 2006 = Population in 2007 / (1 + Growth Rate)
Repeat this process until you approximate the population in 2008.
Remember to properly cite your sources using APA style when referencing the population count and growth rate data you find.
