Question

a population of cheetahs has a birth rate of 5 and a death rate of 15. immigration is 2, and emigration is 4. what is its population growth? -14 -12 12 14

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate natural - increase

Natural increase = Birth rate - Death rate. So, $5 - 15=- 10$.

Step2: Calculate net - migration

Net migration = Immigration - Emigration. So, $2 - 4=-2$.

Step3: Calculate population growth

Population growth = Natural increase+Net migration. So, $-10+( - 2)=-12$.

Answer:

-12
