MAT153 Unit 4 Project: Zombie Apocalypse

 
 
A fast-spreading zombie outbreak has begun on an isolated island in the South Pacific. Assume the spread of this outbreak can be modeled by the exponential equation:
 
 
 
 
 
P(t) is the total number people who become zombies after t days.
 
 
 
 
 

  1. Estimate the initial number of zombies. Show how you found your answer.

 
 
 
 
 
 

  1. Estimate the number of zombies after 5 days? Show how you found your answer.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  1. What is the maximum number of people on the island that can become zombies? (Hint: Examine the function for larger and larger values of t).

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  1. Explain why your answer for Question #3 is the maximum.

 
 

  1. The town can survive if it can receive necessary equipment before 10,000 zombies exist on the island. How many days does the island have in order to receive the necessary equipment and survive? Show how you found your answer.

Fit a multiple regression model, testing whether a moderating variable affects the relationship between the predictor and the outcome variable

Question Description

Based on the research question you created, complete the following tasks:

  • Fit a multiple regression model, testing whether a moderating variable affects the relationship between the predictor and the outcome variable. Think about whether or not the model will meet assumptions.
  • Fit the model, testing for moderation between two key variables.
  • Analyze the output, determining whether moderation was significant and how to interpret that result.
  • Reflect on possible implications of social change.

Write 2-paragraph analysis in APA format that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed above. See pages 641 and 642 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a moderation analysis.

This is the research question

The research question: “Does the hours of work every week, the level of education and the hours of TV watching every day has a significant effect on income?”
