Question
A study of Maryland's portion of Chesapeake Bay found the following information about stocks of market-sized oysters.†
  • In 1994, the stocks were 218 million. (This is the number you will use for the initial population N(0).)
  • The carrying capacity is 5089 million oysters.
  • The intrinsic exponential growth rate is 0.274 per year.
(a)
Find a logistic model N(t) for the number, in millions, of market-sized oysters. Take t to be the time in years since 1994. (Rround all regression parameters to three decimal places.)
N(t) =
 
 
(b)
Plot the graph of the model you found in part (a) over the first 20 years.
 
 
 
 
(c)
How many market-sized oysters does your model predict for 2007? Round your answer, in millions, to the nearest whole number.
million oysters
(d)
The actual number of market-sized oysters was found to be 82 million. Use the Internet to find possible explanations for the reduced levels of oysters in Chesapeake Bay.
