Question

The table gives the number of yeast cell in a new laboratory culture. (a) Plot the data and use the plot to estimate the carrying capacity for the yeast population. (b) Use the data to estimate the initial relative growth rate. (c) Find both an exponential model and a logistic model for these data. (d) Compare the predicted values with the observed values, both in a table and with graphs. Comment on how well your models fit the data. (e) Use your logistic model to estimate the number of yeast cells after 7 hours.

Step 1

The carrying capacity is the maximum population size that the environment can sustain indefinitely. From the plot, we can see that the carrying capacity is around 680. So, the carrying capacity for the yeast population is $\boldsymbol{680}$. Show more…
