Sales of a video game released in the year 2000 took off at first, but then steadily slowed as time moved on. Table 4 shows the number of games sold, in thousands, from the years 20002010. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=1 for the year 2000. Let y represent the number of games sold in thousands. Use logarithmic regression to fit a model to these data. b. If games continue to sell at this rate, how many games will sell in 2015? Round to the nearest thousand.

More on the Pacific Sardine This is a continuation of Example 5.1. In this exercise, we explore the Pacific sardine population further, using the model in Example 5.1. a. If the current level of the Pacific sardine population is 50,000 tons, how long will it take for the population to recover to the optimum growth level of 1.2milliontons? Suggestion: One way to solve this is to make a new logistic formula using K2.4, r0.338, and N(0)0.05. b. The value of r used in Example 5.1 ignores the effects of fishing. If fishing mortality is taken into account, then r drops to 0.215 per year with the carrying capacity still at 2.4milliontons. Answer the question in part a using this lower value of r. Note: The population estimate of 50,000 tons and the adjusted value of r are given in the paper by Murphy see footnote 3 on page 347. Murphy points out that factoring in the growth of the competing anchovy population makes the recovery times even longer, and he adds. "It is disconcerting to realize how slowly the population will recover to its level of maximum productivity ... even if fishing stops." Studies to fit a logistic model to the Pacific sardine population have yielded. N=241+239e0.338t where t is measured in years and N is measured in millions of tons of fish.

Part 7 What portion of the graph is concave up? What portion is concave down?
