Over the course of a year, 125 offspring are born, and 25 individuals die. What is the per capita rate of increase in this population?
Hint: r (per capita rate of increase) = b - d Title: Re: There are 500 mice in a population. Over the course of a year, 125 offspring are born, and 25 ... Post by: brown_02 on Nov 13, 2022 Solution: Birth of individuals (B) = 125
Death of individuals(D) = 25 Number of population,(N) = 500 Birth rate, b = B/N = 125/500 = 0.25 Death rate, d = D/N = 25/500 = 0.05 per capita rate of increase, r = b - d r = 0.25 - 0.05 r = 0.20 Ans: Per capita rate of increase in this population is 0. 20 |
