A certain apartment building, which you don't want to live in. opened in 1994. In 1996. the number of mice infesting that building was 2. In 1999. there were 32 mice. Let M represent the number of mice in years since 1995. {6.5 pts) a. Find the equation that models Mas a linear function oft. (2 pts) b. Write M as an exponential function of t. What are the parameters of interest and what do they tell us about the growth in the number of mice over time? (2 pts) 0. What is the predicted number of mice in the building in 2000 based on the linear model? What about with the exponential model? If, in 2000, the actual number of mice observed turns out to be 172. calculate residual values to determine which model seems to be a more reliable predictor of the data. Explain how you know which model is more reliable. (2.5 pts) 2. The table below shows the typical mass of eight sea animals. (8.5 pts) a. Plot and label these values on a log scale.
