Consulting Case Interview Practice Questions

Answer: 300 million is a good estimate for your cases. As of 2008, the population of the US was around 305 million.

Key Takeaway: If an age group question is asked, an effective approach is to use 0-20, 20-40, 40-60 and 60+ as your age groups. For the sake of simplicity, you can divide them equally into groups of 75 million people for the US market.

You'll see in another question in this module that this isn't precise, but the interviewer likely won't care. Just be sensitive for situations where they might.
