Textbook Question
Chapter 9.5, Problem 38E
U.S. population projections According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the nation’s population (to the nearest million) was 296 million in 2005 and 321 million in 2015. The Bureau also projects a 2050 population of 398 million. To construct a logistic model, both the growth rate and the carrying capacity must be estimated. There are several ways to estimate these parameters. Here is one approach:
- a. Assume t = 0 corresponds to 2005 and that the population growth is exponential for the first ten years; that is, between 2005 and 2015, the population is given by P(t) = P(0)ert. Estimate the growth rate r using this assumption.
- b. Write the solution of the logistic equation with the value of r found in part (a). Use the projected value P(45) = 398 million to find a value of the carrying capacity K.
- c. According to the logistic model determined in parts (a) and (b), when will the U.S. population reach 95% of its carrying capacity?
- d. Estimations of this kind must be made and interpreted carefully. Suppose the projected population for 2050 is 410 million rather than 398 million. What is the value of the carrying capacity in this case?
- e. Repeat part (d) assuming the projected population for 2050 is 380 million rather than 398 million. What is the value of the carrying capacity in this case?
- f. Comment on the sensitivity of the carrying capacity to the 35-year population projection.
