Formula: ceNkt N – x 7) Suppose false news spreads in a city of 150,000 in a day. Within a week, 15000 residents heard the news. Assume that the spread of the rumor is jointly proportional to the number of persons who heard the news and the number of persons who haven’t heard the news. Determine how long half of the population heard the rumor.
