Question

The population of a deer in a forest was measured to be 1,537 in the year 2010. If the population increased by a steady 4% per year, which of the following calculations would predict its population in 2013

Answer 1

Hi there
The formula is
P=A (1+r)^t
P population in 2013. ?
A population in 2010 (1537)
R growth rate 0.04
T time 2,013−2,010=3 years
So
P=1,537×(1+0.04)^(3)
P=1,728.9 round your answer to get
P=1729

Hope it helps
