Question
In a city of half a million, there are initially 200 cases of a particularly virulent strain of flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta claims that the cumulative number of infections of this flu strain will increase by 40% per week if there are no limiting factors. Make a logistic model of the potential cumulative number of cases of flu as a function of weeks from the initial outbreak, and determine how long it will be before 100,000 people are infected. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

- If actual period demand varies from the forecast by more than 3MAD, this indicates: there is 3% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 98% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 97% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 3% chance that the forecast is correct Moving to the next question prevents changes to this answer:arrow_forwardA bacteria culture had a population of 13 million at 10:00 am and by 2:00 pm had grown to 21 million. Predict the population at 6:00 pm that same day.arrow_forwardConsider the following queuing systems:System 1 An average of 40 customers arrive each hour; interarrival times are exponential. Customers must com-plete two types of service before leaving the system. The first server takes an average of 30 seconds (exponentiallydistributed) to perform type 1 service. After waiting in line, each customer obtains type 2 service (exponentially distrib-uted with a mean of 1 minute) from a single server. After completing type 2 service, a customer leaves the system.System 2 The arrival process for system 2 is identical to the interarrival process for system 1. In system 2, a cus-tomer must complete only one type of service. Service time averages 1.5 minutes and is exponentially distributed. Twoservers are available.In which system does a typical customer spend less time?arrow_forward
- An experiment involves dropping a ball and recording the distance it falls (y) for different times (x) after it was released. Construct a scatterplot and identify the mathematical model that best fits the given data. Assume that the model is to be used only for the scope of the given data, and consider only linear, quadratic, logarithmic, exponential, and power models.
