5. The population of a certain country is known to increase at a rate proportional fo the number of people presently living in the country. If after two years the population has doubled, and after three years the population is 20,000, find the number of people initially living in the country. 6. In a certain culture of bacteria, the rate of increase is proportional to the number present. (a) If it is found that the number doubles in 6 hrs, how many may be expected at the end of 18 hrs? (b) If there are 102 at the end of 4 hrs, and 8 x 102 at the end of 8 hrs, how many were there in the beginning? Brino

A waste water is to be disinfected with chlorine to kill 90% of microorganisms. The number of micro-organisms surviving at time 't is modelled by N₁ = No 1+kt' where N is number of microorganisms at t = 0, and k is rate of kill in min-1. It was observed that after 10 minutes, 50% of micro-organisms were killed, and after 15 minutes from start, temperature is raised such that kill rate becomes double. The time taken in killing of micro-organisms from 0.5 No to 0.9 No is
A population of the of bacteria grows at the rate proportional to the number of bacteria at the time. There were initially 200 bacteria, and after 12 hours the population muliplied by 10. How many bacteria would there be after 24 hours.
Suppose that a quantity of a radioactive substance originally weighing Xo grams decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present and that the original quantity is left after 1000 years is halved, find the time when the amount is one-tenth of the original amount.

Question An effluent at a flow rate of 2670 m³/d from a sewage treatment plant is to be disinfected. The laboratory data of disinfection studies with a chlorine dosage of 15 mg/l yield the model N₁-Noe 0.145t where N₁= number of micro-organisms surviving at time t (in min.) and No= number of micro- organism present initially (at t=0). The volume of disinfection unit (in m³) required to achieve a 98% kill of micro-organisms is_
Suppose that at the start of an experiment there are 8,000 bactena A growth inhibitor and a lethal pathogen are introduced into the colony. After two hours 1,000 bactena are dead. If the death rates are exponential, 21 How long will it take for the population to drop below 5,000? 2.2 How long will it take for two-thirds of the bacteria to die? Round your answers to the nearest tenth N = Noekt
A colony of bacteria grows at a rate proportional to the size of the its population P at time t (in minutes). There is sufficient food, no predators, and with zero death rate. The rate of population growth P satisfies fraction numerator d P over denominator d t end fraction equalskP for some positive constant k (in /minute) where the initial population P(0) = P subscript 0 = 39959 bacteria (with decimals allowed). If the population has doubled after 14 minutes, when will the population triple? Answer: _ minutes. (Use two decimal places for the answer, no units needed)
One hour after a bacteria colony starts growing, a scientist determines that there are 9000 bacteria present. After another hour, there are 12,000 bacteria. How many bacteria were present initially? A) 3850 B) 6750 C) 9000 D) 16000
Example 5.5:- Each sample of water has a 10% chance of containing a particular organic pollutant. Assume that the samples are independent with regard to the presence of the pollutant. Find the following :- (a) The probability that in the next 18 samples, exactly 2 contain the pollutant. (b) The probability that at least four samples contain the pollutant in 18 samples. (c) The probability that 3< X<7 where X are samples contain the pollutant.
you collect a 1-liter sample of water from a river and perform a BOd test in the lab. at the beginning of the experiment, your water contains 8.7 mg/l of dissolved oxygen, and after 5 days you have only 5.0 mg/l of dissolved oxygen? a) what is the biological oxygen demand of the water - that is the amount of oxygen consumed during the 5 day period? b) Assuming all of the organic material in the water has the chemical formula CH2O, what mass of this material must have been present originally to consume that much oxygen?
