Percentage increase of the population of a town 2014-03-28
hunter pose la question :
The population of a certain town in 1984 was 2900 people. The percent increase was 2.5% each year. What is the town's population in 2002?

An exponential equation 2010-10-19
Sandi pose la question :

Question from sandi, a student:

I have several questions similar to this one and was wondering if you could walk me through this one. I'm totally lost on how to do it.
Paramecia reproduce by splitting in two. In a laboratory flask, a colony of paramecia had an initial population of 500. Each day, the population of the paramecia was counted. The results are as listed.
Time (in days)------Population
0-----------------------500
1-----------------------600
2-----------------------720
3-----------------------864
4----------------------1037
5---------------------1244
6---------------------1493
7----------------------1792
8---------------------2150
1.)Using graphing calculator make a scatter plot of the data in table.
I think I did this part right I set my window at Xmin=0 Xmax=10 Xscl=1 Ymin=0 Ymax=2500 Yscl=100 Xres=1
2.) Determine an exponential equation to represent the population as a function of time without using a graphing calculator.I have no clue how to do this.
3.)Suppose the flask and food supply is large enough to support the trend of the population growth. Estimate the population of the colony when the time is 10 days.

A model for the population of a Canadian city 2010-04-07
jess pose la question :
Let t^2 represent t-squared. The population of a Canadian City is modelled by: f(t) = 12t^2 + 800t + 40,000, where t is the time in years. When t= 0, the year is 2007.
a) According to the model, what will the population be in 2010?
B) In what year is the population predicted to be 300,000?

Everything in a cube 2 miles long? 2010-01-31
Naresh pose la question :
in a book, i got to read this :

Is it possible to pack the entire population of earth and everything that was created by humankind in a cube whose edges are 2 miles long ?

Is it possible? Thanks.

A linear model 2008-05-09
Shelby pose la question :
How would you write a linear model to represent the population of a city that has a population of 547,725 and a growth rate of -25,195 per year with t represents the number of years since 1994?

Maine and Nevada 2003-10-24
Jimmy pose la question :

From 1989 to 1990, the population of Nevada increased b y 157,000, and that of Maine increased by 30,000. In 1990, the population of Nevada was 1,206,152, and that of Maine was 1,233,223. If the populations of the two states continue to increase at the same rates, when will the populations of Nevada and Maine be the same?

Write a verbal model for this problem
Write an equation for the model
Solve the equation and answer the question.

The entire earths' population would fit in the state of Texas 2002-09-18
Roz pose la question :
I have been told that the entire earths' population would fit in the state of Texas and each person would have 1/2 acre. Is this true.

Earthquake warning 2001-09-03
Dillon pose la question :
In the city of Skangai there are 6 million people.Each person has to tell 2 more people that theres going to be an earthquake. After they do they leave the city. There will be no duplications.It takes 3 minutes to tell each person. How long will it take for the whole city to know about the earthquake?

Conservation, consumption and population growth 2001-06-04
Steve pose la question :
I'm trying to quantify the relation between conservation/consumption and population growth. For instance let's consider California:

The 2000 census states that California's population grew from 29,760* in 4-1990 to 33,871 in 4-2000. I want to find r or rate of growth per year. Based on the exponential growth formula for population growth:

Population growth 2001-05-01
Gina pose la question :
Suppose the population of a country increases at a steady rate of 3% a year. If the population is 50 million at a certain time, what will it be 25 years later? Define the recurrence relation that solves this problem.

Estimating the population mean 1999-11-13
John Barekman pose la question :
Statitistics: Estimating the population mean when the standard deviation is known:

I am not sure which n to use in the formula for the confidence interval equation:

x +/- z*(standard deviation/sqrt(n))

If we have data of ten people, and if we have the data of ten sets of ten people each, what is the difference in the n that we use? What is the difference between the standard deviation and the standard error? Are we using the number of sampling means or just the number of samples?
