- Question Type 5: Determining parameter values based on information on the logistic model
Fit a logistic model to data: and , given carrying capacity . Determine and .
[5]A logistic population model is used to study the growth of a population over time.
A logistic population model is defined by the function
where is the time in years and is the population at time .
Given that the initial population , find the value of .
[2]Given that the population doubles in the first 5 years (), find the value of .
[3]Find the constant in the logistic function if the initial value is .
[3]Given a logistic growth model and the initial population is , determine the value of .
Write the logistic function for a population of bacteria with carrying capacity , initial size , and growth constant .
[3]Formulate the logistic model given , initial , and intrinsic growth rate .
[3]A logistic model has , and . Determine the growth constant in
