Question

11) Assume a population of deer has a crude birth rate of 26 per 1,000/yr, a crude death rate of 15 per 1,000/yr, an immigration rate of 7 per 1,000/yr, and a emigration rate of 9 per 1,000/yr. What is the population growth rate

Answer 1

9 per 1,000/yr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth rate is 9 per 1,000/yr.

The rate of growth of population is determined by the following formula:

Growth rate = B - D + I - E

Where B = birth rate, D = death rate, I = immigration, and E = emigration

In this case, B = 26, D = 15, I = 7, and E = 9. Substitute these values into the equation of growth rate.

Growth rate = (26 - 15) + (7 - 9)

= 11 - 2 = 9

Hence, the growth rate of the deer's population is 9 per 1,000/yr.
