Chapter 9.5, Problem 38E

U.S. population projections According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the nation’s population (to the nearest million) was 296 million in 2005 and 321 million in 2015. The Bureau also projects a 2050 population of 398 million. To construct a logistic model, both the growth rate and the carrying capacity must be estimated. There are several ways to estimate these parameters. Here is one approach:

  1. a. Assume t = 0 corresponds to 2005 and that the population growth is exponential for the first ten years; that is, between 2005 and 2015, the population is given by P(t) = P(0)ert. Estimate the growth rate r using this assumption.
  2. b. Write the solution of the logistic equation with the value of r found in part (a). Use the projected value P(45) = 398 million to find a value of the carrying capacity K.
  3. c. According to the logistic model determined in parts (a) and (b), when will the U.S. population reach 95% of its carrying capacity?
  4. d. Estimations of this kind must be made and interpreted carefully. Suppose the projected population for 2050 is 410 million rather than 398 million. What is the value of the carrying capacity in this case?
  5. e. Repeat part (d) assuming the projected population for 2050 is 380 million rather than 398 million. What is the value of the carrying capacity in this case?
  6. f. Comment on the sensitivity of the carrying capacity to the 35-year population projection.

. A contagious disease is spreading in a town of 10,000 people. There were 200 infectedpeople when the outbreak was discovered, and the number grew up to 1,000 after one month.Assuming the logistic model for the spread of the disease, find the number of infected peoplethree months after the outbreak.
Assume the carrying capacity of the earth is 11 billion. Use the 1960s peak annual growth rate of 2.1​% and population of 3 billion to predict the base growth rate and current growth rate with a logistic model. Assume a current population of 6.8 billion. How does the predicted growth rate compare to the actual growth rate of about 1.2​% per​ year?
A nation's population (to the nearest million) was 281 million in 2000 and 311 in 2010. It is projected that the population in 2050 will be 439 million. To construct a logistic model, both the growth rate and the carrying capacity must be estimated. There are several ways to estimate these parameters. Use parts (a) through (f) to use one approach. a. Assume that t = 0 corresponds to 2000 and that the population growth is exponential for the first ten years; that is, between 2000 and 2010, the population is given by P(t) = P(0) e". Estimate the growth rate r using this assumption. = (Round to five decimal places as needed.) b. Write the solution of the logistic equation with the value of r found in part (a). Write any populations in the logistic equation in millions of people. P(t) = Use the projected value P(50) = 439 million to find a value of the carrying capacity K. K= (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.) c. According to the logistic model…
