Question

Hey can some please help me with this. Experimental data of heat capacities of chemicals or bacteria growth tend to obey Benford's Law, which states that given some numerical data the proportion of numbers starting with digit D is approximately: P(D) = log_10 (1 + 1/D) where P(D) is the proportion of a number starting with digit D. (For example, given 43.38, D = 4.) Putting to test Benford's Law, let's use the following exponential growth model used for the growth of bacteria in an experiment sample: N = 2e^2t + 1 where N is the population number of bacteria at time t, measured in days. Using the model provided above use Excel to work out the number of bacteria for 25 consecutive days. Provide two columns of your data and represent that information with a scatter diagram. Add a trend line. Please comment on any issues you may have encountered with these data.
