Chapter 12.5, Problem 5E

Spread of Information A sociological study was made to examine the process by which doctors decide to adopt a new drug. Certain doctors who had little interaction with other physicians were called isolated. Out of 100 isolated doctors, each month the number who adopted the new drug that month was 8% of those who had not yet adopted the drug at the beginning of the month. Find a difference equation for y n , the number of isolated physicians using the drug after n months, and sketch its graph. (Source: James S. Coleman. Elihu katz, and Herbert Menzel, “The Diffusion of an Innovation Among Physicians. Sociometry, 20, 1957, pp 253–270.)
