Question

The following table is a summary of data taken on the growth of yeast cells in a bioreactor.

 

  Time (hourshours)    Yeast Concentration gramslitergramsliter
               0                             0.010
               4                             0.048
               8                             0.152
              12                             0.733
              16                             2.457

 

Enter the values into Excel and create a graph with Time on the x-axis and Yeast Concentration on the y-axis.

Using the correct equation type to fit the data, estimate the value of XoXo in the following equation:

X=Xo⋅exp(μ⋅t)

What is Xo to the correct number of significant digits?
