Question

A population of 1000 humans experienced 12 births within a year and 9 deaths. Within this same year a small family 3 moved into the community, but no one moved out. What is the calculated growth rate of the community

Answer 1

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth must take into account the natural growth (briths - deaths), plus the growth from migration into the community.

The natural growth was 3 people, because there were 12 births and 9 deaths. And we must add 3 other people from the family who moved in. Thus, the total growth of the community is 6 people. In percentual, the rate of growth was 6%
