- Hello! How do you solve part (a), (b), and (c) of the question attached below? Thank you for your help! Have a nice day :)arrow_forwardAssume there is a certain population of fish in a pond whose growth is described by the logistic equation. The growth parameter for this type of fish is r = 3.0. The logistic growth formula is given by PN+1 rPN(1-PN) If originally the pond is stocked to 50% of its carrying capacity, then the population of the pond after the second breeding season is Select one: a. 25% of the pond's carrying capacity. b. 56.25% of the pond's carrying capacity. c. 75% of the pond's carrying capacity. d. none of these O e. 50% of the pond's carrying capacity.arrow_forwardA colony of 120 wood frogs was introduced to a pond with a carrying capacity of C=300. The population grows according to the logistic growth model, with a growth parameter is r = 1.5. The logistic growth formula is: pN+1 = rpN(1-pN) a) Find the initial p-value: p0 = Answer b) Find the first p-value: p1 = Answer c) Find the second p-value: p2 = Answerarrow_forward
- Biologists stocked a lake with 300 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 5000. The number of fish tripled in the first year. (a) Assuming that the size of the fish population satisfies the logistic equation dP = kp (1-P). (1-²), kP dt determine the constant k, and then solve the equation to find an expression for the size of the population after t years. k= P(t)= (b) How long will it take for the population to increase to 2500 (half of the carrying capacity)? It will take years.arrow_forwardPls do fast handwrittenarrow_forward
