Assume there is a certain population of fish in a pond whose growth is described by the logistic equation. It is estimated that the carrying capacity for the pond is 1200 fish. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 240% per year. If the starting population is given by P0 = 500, then after one breeding season the population of the pond is given by P1 - After two breeding seasons the population of the pond is given by P2 -

What is the carrying capacity for a population modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=250,0001+499e0.45t ? initial population for the model?
The table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.
What is the y -intercept of the logistic growth model y=c1+aerx ? Show the steps for calculation. What does this point tell us about the population?
Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. 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.
