urvives the second year. The maximum life span is 3 years. (b) The average number of offspring for each member of the population is 3 the first year, 6 the second year, and 3 the third year.

Answer:

At the end of year 1,

The first age class has 2112 members.

The second age class has 44 members.

The third age class has 132 members.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are currently

176 members in age class 0

176 members in age class 1

176 members in age class 2

They all die off by age class 3

Starting with the members of age class 0. They produce 3 offsprings each during the first year, leading to 3×176 = 528 new members of age class 0 as at the end of the first year.

Then, of the 176 members of age class 0, only 25% make it to the next age class after a year, that is, only 44 of them.

So, from this group, after a year, age class 0 has 528 members, and age class 1 has 44 members.

Age class 1 group now. Population at the start = 176

They produce 6 offsprings each during that 1 year, that is, 6×176 = 1,056 new members of age class 0 at the end of that year.

Then, the survival rate for those in their second year of living is 75%, hence, 132 of them make it to the next age class.

So, from this group, after a year, age class 0 has 1056 members, and age class 2 has 132 members.

Age class 2 group now. Population at the start = 176

They produce 3 offsprings each during that 1 year, that is, 3×176 = 528 new members of age class 0 at the end of that year.

Then, the survival rate for those in their third year of living is 0%, hence, none of them make it to the next age class.

So, from this group, after a year, age class 0 has 528 members, and they all die off at the end of that 1 year.

So, we now calculate the number of members of each age class now at the end of that 1 year.

Age class 0 = 528 + 1056 + 528 = 2112 members

Age class 1 = 44 members

Age class 2 = 132 members.

Which is a true statement?
julsineya [31]
B.  <span>–4.37 < –1.63  is the true statement. -4.37 is less than -1.63
</span>
A. <span>–4.28 > –3.56 * should be less than
</span>C. <span>5.7 < 5.63      * should be greater than
</span>D. -13.90 > 4.63 *should be less than

In dealing with negative numbers, the greater the negative number is, the lesser its value. 4.37 is a greater number than 1.63 in its positive form, however, its negative form give 4.37 a lesser value than 1.63 in its negative form.
