Answer: 17,203 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for solving this is;

[tex]P(t) = P_{0} (2)^{t/dt}[/tex]

Where;

P(t) is the population at time t

[tex]P_{0}[/tex] is the initial population

t is the year of interest

dt is the amount of time it takes to double.

[tex]P(t) = P_{0} (2)^{t/dt}[/tex]

[tex]P(2) = 16,237 (2)^{2/24}[/tex]

=  17,202.50

= 17,203 people
