A rumor spreads through a school. Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume that the rate at which the rumor spreads is proportional to the product of the fraction y of the population that has heard the rumor and the fraction 1−y that has not yet heard the rumor.The school has 1000 students in total. At 8 a.m., 95 students have heard the rumor, and by noon, half the school has heard it. Using the logistic model explained above, determine how much time passes before 90% of the students will have heard the rumor.90% of the students have heard the rumor after about _ hours?
