Concept explainers
The following data gives the height (in inches) of a sunflower plant as a
Time (days) | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 |
Height (in.) | 9 | 22 | 44 | 63 | 80 | 94 | 97 |
The height can be modeled by the logistic function:
where H is the height (in.) and t is the time (days). Make a plot of the height versus time. The figure should show the data from the table above as points and the height modeled by the equation as a solid line. Add a legend, and label the axes.

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?arrow_forward
