Perform the same computation as in Sec. 20.1, but use linear regression and transformations to fit the data with a power equation. Assess the result.

To calculate: A power equation fit to the data for specific growth rate and available food the data using linear regression equation and transformation.
Answer to Problem 1P
Solution: The power equation to fit the data for specific growth rate and available food is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Data for specific growth rate
Formula used: A linear regression equation is given as
Here,
Power equation can be obtained from the linear regression equation as,
Here,
Calculation: For the given data,
Consider logarithmic terms and evaluate the summationsas,
Calculate the value of
Here,
Thus,
Simplify,
Substitute the values from the summation table and solve as,
Calculate the value of
Here,
Thus,
Simplify,
Substitute the values from the summation table and solve as,
Thus, the linear regression equation is,
Therefore,
Thus, the power equation fit to the datais written as,
The plot for both the linear and the power models is obtained as,
Hence, the power equation fit gives better approximation than the linear regression fit.

- Let G be a graph with the following properties: G is simple, connected and planar. Every vertex of G has a degree of 4. Every face of G has three edges and every edge of G belongs to two faces. Does such a graph exist? If so, how many vertices, edges and faces does it have? (Hint: Turn each of the above property into an equation about the number of vertices, edges and/or faces of the graph.)arrow_forwardYou are provided with data that includes all 50 states of the United States. Your task is to draw a sample of: o 20 States using Random Sampling (2 points: 1 for random number generation; 1 for random sample) o 10 States using Systematic Sampling (4 points: 1 for random numbers generation; 1 for random sample different from the previous answer; 1 for correct K value calculation table; 1 for correct sample drawn by using systematic sampling) (For systematic sampling, do not use the original data directly. Instead, first randomize the data, and then use the randomized dataset to draw your sample. Furthermore, do not use the random list previously generated, instead, generate a new random sample for this part. For more details, please see the snapshot provided at the end.)
