Using the carrying capacity model recursively, k= 800 million, the population of the United States for each year between 1950-2017. 1950 population was 158804 thousand. What is the model’s predicted U.S. population for the year 1999 (in thousands)? the growth rate of 0.01078. Give your answer correct to the nearest whole number.

Solutions

Expert Solution

logistic equation is

L=carrying capacity= 800 million = 800000 thousand

k = growth rate = 0.01078 (here growth rate is not in percentage)

...................(1)

in 1950 population was 158804 thousand.

so the initial population is 158804 thousand

take y(0)=158804

put it back in equation 1

to find a population in 1999 take t=1999-1950 = 49

t=49

thousands in 1999

I have a logistic growth equation for a population where K = 820 carrying capacity, and P(0) =550 initial population with a growth rate r of 0.25. Using the equation P= K/(1+A.e^-rt) i can find out the Value of A from initial conditions as A=(K-P(0))/P(0) and apply the equation to calculate values of P at different time intervals between 0 ans 12 years. If I have to use the same parameters as a logistic decay starting with an initial population...

Consider a population of antelope, with P0=2,750, carrying capacity K=3,875, and growth rate r=0.073 (or 7.3%) per year. Assuming that this population follows logistic growth, find P(t), then use the solution to predict the population after 8 years. Round your final answer to the nearest integer value and do not include units.
