Models Exponential Model: In exponential model, zombies increase without limitation. the function is dz/dt=k*z. k=dz/(dt*z) dz/dt is the growth rate, z is the population of zombie, and k is a constant. For k, we generated each individual k value for each data point and then took the average as the k we use, k=1.0844. z=Ce^(kt) “t” is the trial’s number and C is another constant. The C value we use is the average C value of each date point C=0.1925. So z=0.1925*e^(1.0844*t) The graph below shows the estimate values in exponential model and the actual values of zombie population for each trail. For the first five data point, the value of exponential model is close to the actual value. However, the exponential model didn’t work well for the …show more content…
The equation is dz/dx=ky(1-z/A). dz/dx is increasing rate of zombie, z is the population and A is the capacity (50). The k value we use is the average of the k values of the second to the fourth data point, k=1.0603. The function represent z in term of t is z=A-A/(B*e^kt+1). B is another constant. The B value we use is the average of each B value of each data point, B=0.0211. So z=50-50/(0.000256*e^(2.7477t)+1). The graph below shows the estimate values in logistic model and real values of zombie population. The logistic model describes both the increase of the increasing rate at the beginning and the decrease of the increasing rate at the end. However, there is still a small difference between value of logistic model and real value. To improve it, we can take zombie experiment multiple times to get more data points or enlarge the population. In conclusion, logistic model is better fit for the data than exponential model. They both describe the increasing tendency of the increase rate at first several trails. But only logistic model describes the decreasing tendency of the increase rate at the

* Given linear and exponential data, interpret the rate of change within the given context.
The graph I created from the tested data differs from my predicted graph. They both are positive as the time increases as the position increases, but in my predicted graph, I did not count for acceleration. The reason the graph is not a
Your zombie usually does not behave normally that resembles anything that was once human. Once mutation has occurred, it is easy to tell at first look that that risen zombie is no longer a living member of the human society. Its movement is generally slow with very poor skills and coordination. Its walk is clumsy and unbalanced. This is caused in part by the cellular decay of their nerves and tissue, and also the poor functioning of the portion of the brain that controls functions. Without control of their circulatory and other systems, the body begins to decay quite fast. This rapid decay occurs in all parts of the body including the eyes, leaving zombies with a very poor sense of sight. This makes them even
Continuing on, zombies have had a huge pop culture impact on the world. The peak popularity time of zombies every year is undoubtedly the month of October as Halloween approaches. During the Halloween season many zombie movies, books, video games, etc. are released and a lot of them have a major “hype” factor around them. For example, the popular video game series “Call of Duty” tends to
In the possible occurrence of a zombie apocalypse, certain measures involving shelter, food, weapons, and fitness should be taken to better the chances of survival in such a desperate situation. Throughout the years, movies, television shows, and other miscellaneous hype have heightened a large number of people’s suspicion about the possibility of disease-ridden humans taking over the world. In reality, that atrocity is not exactly far-fetched. With so many vaccines and medicines being mass produced without the sufficient steps taken to test the results, the chance of humans contracting unimaginable side effects is a rational possibility. If
1) Which type of function (linear, exponential, or cubic) do you believe will best fit the data? Support your choice.
a) Graph the following data on regular OR semi-log graph paper (graph both thermal death time curves on the same sheet of paper). Use the graph to determine the z-value for each organism. Show your work.
Writers of the show claim that for every survivor of the disease, there are approximately 5,000 zombies.
Create an exponential growth function, f(x), to model a population of frogs that is growing every year. Identify the principal amount, the growth rate, and the appropriate domain and range for your function. Explain how these key features would affect the graph of f(x).
Zombies continue to keep their popularity alive through the entertainment industry. Zombies have been around for years now with no sign of leaving anytime soon. In the story Max Brooks suggests that zombies have given the other horror movie monsters a run for their money because, zombies are the only monsters that keep their popularity going strong in today’s society. I enjoyed the way Max Brooks shows the reader that he is a fan of zombies and thinks that zombies have been dominating the entertainment industry.
The article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” written by Chuck Klosterman, discusses the reasons behind zombies becoming so popular. Klosterman writes that rise of popularity of zombies is different than that of vampires. He states that most monsters are initially created as representations of fear. Similar to that of Frankenstein or vampires, Klosterman explains that zombies could be viewed in the same light; however, zombies are better explained as an allegory for our day to day existence. Rather than some innate fear, Klosterman highlights this fact to be why zombies have risen to such high popularity.
There are many political theories in the world today. Drezner addresses how realism, liberalism, constructivism, neo-conservatism, and bureaucratic politics would face the threat of a zombie apocalypse throughout his book. Each theory presented with the possibility of a world where the dead walk amongst the living and feed on their flesh, and then Drezner would elaborate on how each political theory would unfold if the world were to decide to pursue that particular political theory. This elaboration helps us determine if the world could even survive a zombie apocalypse. Although many people would ask is the threat of a zombie apocalypse even a
The final model was shown to have minimal error and was therefore a strong representation of the data. However, due to its continuous nature, the model failed to display the fluctuations in population
The British post-apocalyptic horror movie „28 Days Later“ formed a new zombie type. The plot portrays the survival in the post-apocalyptic society after the outbreak of a highly contagious virus. Even though the classic zombie type will never cease to exist, this movie broadened the term by making the zombies that are not dead.
