To find the percent increase in the population between 1950 and 2000, you need to calculate the difference between the final and initial populations, and then divide it by the initial population.

In this case, the initial population in 1950 is 965,000,000 and the final population in 2000 is 2,251,000,000.

The difference in population is 2,251,000,000 - 965,000,000 = 1,286,000,000.

To find the percent increase, divide the difference by the initial population: 1,286,000,000 / 965,000,000 ≈ 1.33.

Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 1.33 * 100 = 133%.

Therefore, the correct percent increase in the population between 1950 and 2000 is 133%.
