The per capita growth rate, or r, of a population can be calculated as:
   r = b - d
   (per capita growth rate) (per capita birth rate) (per capita death rate)
 
   
   Imagine that there are 2,000 mice living in a cornfield. If 1,000 mice are born each month, then the birth rate is 0.5 births per mouse per month (1,000 births/2,000 mice). If 200 mice die one way or another each month, then the death rate is 200/2,000 or 0.1 deaths per mouse per month.
 
   What is the per capita growth rate of this population?
  1.0.1 per mouse per month.
  2.0.4 per mouse per month.
  3.0.5 per mouse per month.
  4.0.6 per mouse per month.
