Concept explainers
Assume that the logistic equation
growth of wild turkeys on a large parcel of state game land. If we want to
allow hunting on this land, we adjust this equation by a subtracting some
number from
following question, suppose that the game land is capable of supporting
a maximum of 1,000 turkeys.
Managing wildlife. Assume that currently there are 750 turkeys
and we want to allow 100 to be harvested per year. The growth
rate of the turkeys is 10% per year. Modify the growth equation
accordingly, and use it to predict the turkey population at the end
of 3 years.

Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forward
