An investigator has reported the data tabulated below for an
experiment to determine the growth rate of bacteria k (per d) as a
function of oxygen concentration c (mg/L). It is known that such data
can be modeled by the following equation:
c²
k = kme
max
C, +c?
where cs and kmax are parameters. Plot the data to prove it can fit
into the equation. Use a transformation to linearize this equation.
Then use linear regression to estimate c, and kmax and predict the
growth rate at c = 2 mg/L.
