World Crude Oil Production In 1956, M.King Hubbert proposed a model to analyse crude oil production. His model, with updated data, gives world crude oil production as
Here P is measured in billions of barrels per year, and t is time, in year, since 2000.
a. Make a graph of world crude oil production for 2000 through 2040.
b. When does this model predict a peak in world crude oil production?
c. What is the maximum crude oil production predicted by this model?

- Table 3 gives the annual sales (in millions of dollars) of a product from 1998 to 20006. What was the average rate of change of annual sales (a) between 2001 and 2002, and (b) between 2001 and 2004?arrow_forwardEnter the data from Table 2 into a graphing calculator and graph the ranking scatter plot. Determine whetherthe data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.arrow_forwardEstimate the age of a newly discovered fossil for which the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 is R=1/1014.arrow_forward
- Is carbon dating? Why does it work? Give an example in which carbon dating would be useful.arrow_forwardDoes a linear, exponential, or logarithmic model best fit the data in Table 2? Find the model.arrow_forwardTable 6 shows the year and the number ofpeople unemployed in a particular city for several years. Determine whether the trend appears linear. If so, and assuming the trend continues, in what year will the number of unemployed reach 5 people?arrow_forward
- Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forwardWhat might a scatterplot of data points look like if it were best described by a logarithmic model?arrow_forwardAn earthquake in Mexico in 1985 had and intensity level about 125, 000, 000 times the reference intensity. Find the Richter number for that earthquake.arrow_forward
