- Recall that the general form of a logistic equation for a population is given by P(t)=c1+aebt , such that the initial population at time t=0 is P(0)=P0. Show algebraically that cP(t)P(t)=cP0P0ebt .arrow_forward2. Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?

- You test some components with a Weibull distribution at temperatures of 100 Celcius and 60 Celcius. At those temperatures you estimate a characteristic life of 15000 hours and 25000 hours respectively. hint: Boltzmann's constant is k = 8.617 x 10-5. Temperature in Celcius + 273.15 = temperature in Kelvin. If n is an integer, T(n) = (n – 1) a) Using linear regression, estimate the Arrhenius model parameters A and AH. b) Give the MTTF, median, and 90th percentile at T = 20 Celcius. Assume that the shape parameter is 0.5arrow_forwardIn an effort to isolate the determinants of absenteeism, Jacob estimates two different regressions, A and B, using time series data. The R2 is 0.63 for regression A and 0.91 for regression B. Which is the superior regression? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardExample 9.2.5 The pdf of a random variable X is assumed to be of the form f (x) = cxª, 0sIs1 for some number and constant c. If X, ..., X, is a random sample of size n, find the maximum likelihood estimate of a.arrow_forward
