An article on cancer treatment contains the following statement: A 37% 5-year survival rate for women with ovarian cancer yields an estimated annual mortality rate of 0.1989. The authors of this article assume that the number of survivors is described by the exponential decay function given at the beginning of this section, where y is the number of survivors and k is the mortality rate. Verify that the given survival rate leads to the given mortality rate.
