The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate parameter of 6.7% per hour. How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double? Note: This is a continuous exponential growth model. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

A certain type of component can be purchased new or used. Fifty percent of all new components last more than five years, but only 30% of used components last more than five years. Is it possible that the lifetimes of new components are exponentially distributed? Explain.
Diseases tend to spread according to the exponential growth model. In the early days of AIDS, the growth factor (i.e. common ratio; growth multiplier) was around 2.2. In 1983, about 1500 people in the U.S. died of AIDS. If the trend had continued unchecked, how many people would have died from AIDS in 2004? people(Note: once diseases become widespread, they start to behave more like logistic growth, but don't worry about that for the purpose of this exercise) Submit QuestionQuestion 7
