A model for the number of people N in a college community who have heard a rumor is given by the equation: N=P(1-e^-.15d) where P is the total population of the community and d is the number of days elapsed since the rumor began. If the number of students is 1,000 find the number of days when 450 students would have heard the rumor?

The number, NN, of people who have heard a rumor spread by mass media by time tt is modeled by N(t)=a(1−e^(−bt)). There are 100,000 people in the population who hear the rumor eventually. If 30% of them heard it the first day, find bb, assuming tt is measured in days. Give your answer to three decimal places.

The number of people in a community who are exposed to a political announcement can be described by the logistic equation dN/dt= N(a-bN)  (, where a and b are positive constants). Initially N (0) = 50, and it is observed that N (3) = 200. Find N (t), N (6) and plot the graph of N (t) if it is known that the limit amount of people who will see the Ad is 3,000 people.

The number P(t) of people in a community who are exposed to a particular advertisement is governed by the logistic equation. initially, P(0) = 200, and it is observed that P(2) = 1500. Solve for P(t) if it is predicted that the limiting number of people in the community who will see the advertisement is 35,000. Also, use a graphing utility to plot the solution curve.

There are 1,000 students in a college dormitory, and some students have been diagnosed with meningitis, a highly contagious disease. A model for how many students will have the disease after n days is m[n + 1] = m[n] + 0.00090*m[n]*(1000 - m[n]); m[n + 1] = m[n] + 0.00090 m[n] (1000 - m[n]) Two students returned from spring break with meningitis. What would be the model of the number of infected students(m(n)) versus the number of days that have...

Throughout the country, the proportion of first-time, first-year community college students who return for their second year of studies is p = 0.52 according to the Community College Survey of Student Engagement. Suppose a community college institutes new policies geared toward increasing student retention. The first year this policy was in place there were n = 2843 first-time, first-year students (N = 1, 050,000). Of these students, x = 1516 returned for their second year of studies. Treat these students...
