2. C.
3. B
4. not sure

Answer 2

@Michele_Laino

Answer 3

I think that we have an exponential growth

Answer 4

well excuse me, but i didnt realize they werent the same thing :(

Answer 5

I didn't see your data until now, sorry. At first sight I think that we have an exponential growth which can be modeled with the function below:
\[\huge y = A \cdot {B^x}\]
here we have to check the linear correlation between the subsequent variables: \(\log_{10} y\) and \(x\). If we take the \(logarithm\) of both sides, we can write this:
\[\huge {\log _{10}}y = {\log _{10}}A + \left( {{{\log }_{10}}B} \right)x\]
which is a linear relation between \( \log_{10}y\) and \(x\)

Answer 6

of course, here \(y\) is the number of fish, and \(x\) is the number of months

Answer 7

please in order to check my conjecture, try to draw the scatter plot using the data you provided

Answer 8

but you wouldn't need to would you, it on the chart provided

Answer 9

it shows larger amounts that are being various

Answer 10

ok! Then we can continue under the hypothesis of an exponential growth, so we have to compute, using an analytical linear fit, both constants \(\log_{10} A\) and \(\log_{10} B\), and then the values \(A\) and \(B\)

Answer 11

maybe my deciamls are off

Answer 12

why 2. D ?

Answer 13

my decimal was off never mind

Answer 14

sincerely I was expecting for a number greater than \(4,738\) as option

Answer 15

please try to apply the formulas for linear fit to my model above and then compute the two constants \(A\) and \(B\), after that, you are able to compute the number of fishes at fifth month, by direct substitution

Answer 16

ok so would it be 3, and does it have to be rounded

Answer 17

its not 4.5

Answer 18

why is it 3 ?

Answer 19

what is your reasoning, please?

Answer 20

i looked at goolge and it seemed it was correct

Answer 21

what is the link?

Answer 22

I meant the web-link you looked

Answer 23

there is not explanation there!

Answer 24

hm i see

Answer 25

Please, I solve your question using my reasoning and I will explain my solution tomorrow, since it involves a quite long computation

Answer 26

hm can we skip it then? how is the next one

Answer 27

I don't think that we are able to answer the subsequent questions, if we have not computed both constants \(A,\,B\) above

Answer 28

ok

Answer 29

ok! :)
