(c)
Answer to Problem 10AYU
The capacity is
Explanation of Solution
Consider the logistic model is,
The predicted capacity is obtained by using
That is
(d)

(d)
Answer to Problem 10AYU
The predicted number of cell phone users is
Explanation of Solution
Consider the logistic model is,
Consider the number of years passed is 25. Then,
(e)
To find: The comparison of the answer in part (d) with the answers of example 1 part (e) and explain the different predictions.
(e)
Answer to Problem 10AYU
The model is better prediction of the future in terms of the cell phone users as it is far more than the population.
Explanation of Solution
Consider the number of users in example 1 is 1247 million that is far more than the population of the country so the users is at the par of the population is the prediction for the future users.
Hence, the model is better prediction of the future in terms of the cell phone users.
