Growth of North Sea Sole The length of North Sea sole, a species of fish, can be determined using the von Bertalanffy model by the formula
Here t is age, in years, and L is length, in inches.
a. Make a graph L versus t. Include values of t from 1 to 10 years.
b. Use functional notation to express the length of a 4-year-old sole, and that calculate that value.
c. At what age will a sole be 10 inches long?
d. What is the limiting length for a North Sea sole?

The prices of diamonds go up as the carat weight increases, but the increase is not smooth. For example, the difference between the size of a 0.99-carat diamond and a 1-carat diamond is undetectable to the naked human eye, but the price of a 1-carat diamond tends to be much higher than the price of a 0.99 diamond. In this question, we use two random samples of diamonds, 0.99 carats and 1 carat, each sample of size 23, and compare the average prices of the diamonds. In order to be able to compare equivalent units, we first divide the price for each diamond by 100 times its weight in carats. That is, for a 0.99-carat diamond, we divide the price by 99. For a 1 carat diamond, we divide the price by 100. The distributions and some sample statistics are shown below I have attached the questions and the chart in the images section.
