Logistic Population Model
|
|
P(t) is the population size
at time t (measured in days)
P0 is the initial population size
K is the carrying capacity of the environment
r is a constant representing population growth
or decay
|
Using this model, answer the following question.
|
E.
|
Compute the value of r required
for an initial population of 53 to reach a size of 152 in 30 days if
the carrying capacity is 200. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
