We would like to estimate a relationship between the weight of a car (weight) and the miles-per-gallon rating (mpg). lmpg - the natural logarithm of mpg lweight - the natural logarithm of weight Three models are estimated. Estimate the MPG rating for a car that weight 2500 pounds using the log-log model. 1. 25.8818 2. 3.2507 3. 25.8084 4. 25.575

Buffalo: Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada, where the Great Plains dramatically meet the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, has a migratory buffalo bison herd that spends falls and winters in the park. The herd is currently managed and so kept small; however, if it were unmanaged and allowed to grow, then the number N of buffalo in the herd could be estimated by the logistic formula N=3151+14e0.23t Here t is the number of years since the beginning of 2002, the first year the herd is unmanaged. a. Make a graph of N versus t covering the next 30 years of the herds existance corresponding to dates up to 2032. b. How many buffalo are in the herd at the beginning of 2002? c. When will the number of buffalo first exceed 300?. d. How many buffalo will there eventually be in the herd? e. When is the graph of N, as a function of t, concave up? When is it concave down? What does this mean in terms of the growth of the buffalo herd?.
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.

The population of a lake of fish is modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=16,1201+25e0.75t, where t is time inyears. To the unrest hundredth, how manyyears will it take the lake to reach 80% of its carrying capacity?For the following exercises, use a graphing utility to create a scatter diagram of the data given in the table.Observe the shape of the scatter diagram to determine whether the data is best described by an exponential,logarithmic, or logistic model. Then use the appropriate regression feature to find an equation that models thedata. When necessary, round values to five decimal places.
