Recent data suggests that, as of 2013, the rate of growth predicted by Moore’s Law no longer holds. Growth has slowed to a doubling time of approximately three years. Find the new function that takes that longer doubling time into account.
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. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?
The U.S. Bureau of the Census prediction for the percentage of the population 65 years and older can be modeled as p(x) = −0.00022x3 + 0.014x2 − 0.0033x + 12.236 percent where x is the number of years since 2000, data from 0 ≤ x ≤ 50. 1. Determine the value of x in the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 50 for which the percentage is predicted to be increasing most rapidly (Round your answer to three decimal places). 2. Thus, in which year is the percentage is predicted to be increasing most rapidly? 3. Calculate the percentage at that time. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 4. Calculate the rate of change of the percentage at that time. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

The magazine Scientific American released a study of data analysis on how quickly children are able to speak in at least single words. Let the function P(t) be the percentage (%) of children who can speak in at least single words by the age of ? months old (for 8 ≤ t ≤ 24). Based on the statement P' (14) = 18, you conclude that by the age of ____ months old, the percentage of children who can speak in at least single words is increasing/decreasing (circle one) at a rate of ________________________. Would you expect P'(t) to increase or decrease, as ? increases? Explain

A company is keen on investing in expanding its market penetration in Africa opening an on-line shop to new potential African clients. For this reason, the company wants to understand the level of digital divide, measured by the total number of internet users in relation to total population, as a function of clients’ personal characteristics. Considering the following analysis based on a survey conducted in two main markets, Nigeria and Kenya, we have the following information to estimate the digital divide: Age: respondent’s age from 25 to 55 years old. Gender: 1 female, 0 male. Education level measured as years of schooling. Region: Kenya =1, Nigeria =0. As part of their work they have produced the following linear regression. How well does the model “describe/explain” the digital divide? How would you improve the model? Is the model statistically significant?
