The per capita birth rate of a species of duck is 0.12. The per capita death rate of that same duck species is 0.14. Assume immi
gration rate equals emigration rate. Is the population increasing, decreasing, or staying the same size? If you cannot tell based on the available information, choose "not enough information is provided to determine a trend".
Given : The per capita birth rate of a species of duck is 0.12. The per capita death rate of that same duck species is 0.14. Assume immigration rate equals
We assume that the immigration rate equals emigration rate.
Since the per capita death rate of a species of duck is greater than the per capita birth rate (0.14>0.12) that means the population of ducks are deceasing.
