Answer:

4321 people

Explanation:

Since the population is modeled by exponential growth, we would need to determine the approximate growth factor by using the formula
y=ab^x where
a is the initial population,
b is the growth factor, and
x will be the number of years after 1994:


y=ab^x\\\\1519=1256b^2\\\\(1519)/(1256)=b^2\\\\b\approx1.0997

Therefore, since 13 years after 1994 is 2007, then we have:


y=1256(1.0997)^x\\\\y=1256(1.0997)^(13)\\\\y\approx4321

Therefore, the population of Amuel in 2007 was approximately 4321 people.
