Answer:
Growth rate = 0.01 per 1,000 population
Step-by-step explanation:
Natality rate 0.015 per 1,000 population
Mortality rate 0.005 per 1,000 population
Growth rate = Natality rate - Mortality rate = 0.015 - 0.005 = 0.01 per 1,000 population
Both the natality rate and the mortality rate are useful to estimate the dynamics of a population. The natality rate (also known as birth rate) and the mortality value are equivalent to the number of births/deaths per capita, although in population demography it is most common to use both values per 1,000 population.
