For example, one might start with a population of 500 organisms, a growth rate of 2, and a growth period to achieve this rate of 6 hours. Assuming that none of the organisms die, this would imply that this population would double in size every 6 hours. Thus, after allowing 6 hours for growth, we would have 1000 organisms, and after 12 hours, we would have 2000 organisms. Write a program that takes these inputs and displays a prediction of the total population. An example of the program input and output is shown below:Enter the initial number of organisms: 10Enter the rate of growth [a real number > 0]: 2Enter the number of hours to achieve the rate of growth: 2Enter the total hours of growth: 6The total population is 80

The Python code is given below with appropriate comments

Explanation:

def predict_population_growth ():

#Prompt and read the input from the user

num_org = int (input ("Enter the initial number of organisms: "))

GR = float (input ("Enter the rate of growth [a real number > 0]: "))

numHour = int (input ("Enter the number of hours to achieve the rate of growth: "))

totalHours = int (input ("Enter the total hours of growth: "))

#caluclate the total poulation growth

population = num_org

hours = 0

while hours < totalHours:

population * = GR

hours + = numHour

print (" The total population is " + str (int (population)))
