Suppose the spread of a direct contact disease in a school is modeled by the exponential function P(t) = 2,000 1 + e3 − t where P(t) is the total number of people infected after t hours.. What does 2,000 represent in equation?
Answer: The number "2,000" would represent the total number of people in the specific population; or the sample population; or the number of people being represented in the study. ______________________________________________
