Question: 5 . ( 1 0 marks ) A rumor spreads through a school. Let ( y ( t ) ) be the fraction

5.(10 marks) 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.,96 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.
