Question: The population data from another experiment on yeast by the ecologist G. F. Gause is given.
(a) Do you think the population is growing exponentially or logistically? Give reasons for your answer.
(b) Estimate the value of k (for either model) from the first two pieces of data. If you chose a logistic model in part (a), estimate the carrying capacity, L, from the data.
(c) Sketch the data and the approximate growth curve given by the parameters you estimated.
