Question

this table shows the same data about the population of rabbits. use the data to answer the question below.
data about a population of rabbits

point in time	number with rhd resistance	number without rhd resistance	percentage with rhd resistance	percentage without rhd resistance
end	168	432	28%	72%

how did this population change over this time period?
the total population size increased.
the percentage of rabbits with rhd resistance decreased.

Explanation:

1. Calculate total population at start: sum rabbits with and without RHD resistance.
2. Calculate total population at end: sum rabbits with and without RHD resistance.
3. Compare total populations and RHD resistance percentages between start and end.

Answer:

• The total population size increased. (Start total: $609 + 91 = 700$; End total: $168 + 432 = 600$ → correction: total population size decreased.
• The percentage of rabbits with RHD resistance decreased. (Start: 87%; End: 28%)

Corrected summary of changes:
The total population size decreased from 700 to 600, and the percentage of rabbits with RHD resistance dropped from 87% to 28%, while the percentage of rabbits without RHD resistance rose from 13% to 72%.
