Which of the following statements are true in relation to the use of growth curves to measure secular trend? a) Growth curves may reach a maximum point b) Logistic curve is one such growth curve c) Logistic curve is L shaped d) Gompertz growth curve is S shaped
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Statements b and d are true: the logistic curve is a growth curve, and the Gompertz curve is S-shaped. Growth curves approach an upper limit asymptotically and never actually reach a maximum point, so a is false, and the logistic curve is S-shaped rather than L-shaped, so c is false.
