-The rates of death (in number of deaths per 100,000 population) for 1-4 year olds in the United States between 1980-1995 are given below. (Source: NCHS Data Warehouse)
$\begin{array}{c|c}\text { Year } & \text { Rate of Death } \\\hline 1980 & 91.4 \\\hline 1985 & 74.5 \\\hline 1990 & 69.3 \\\hline 1995 & 61.3\end{array}$ A logarithmic equation that models this data is $y = 822.99 - 167.55 \ln x$ where $x$ represents the number of years since 1900 . Use this equation to predict the rate of death for 1-4 year olds in 2005 .
