A population started with 100 individuals. There were 14 births, 20 deaths, and 2 new individuals immigrated into the population. As a percentage, what rate did the population change?

Respuesta :

Answer: r = -4%  

Explanation:    use the formula r = (B - D) + (I - E) /

                                                             population

which means growth rate = (Births - Deaths) + (Immigration - Emigration) /

                                                                              populatio

plug the numbers in so you get   r = (14 - 20) + (2 - 0) /

                                                                           100

So the growth rate is -4%
