The population change is the number of deer born minus the number of deer that died during that year. The herd population started at 2000 when this study began. Calculate the number of deaths (predation + starvation). To determine the deer population change, subtract the number of deaths from births (births - deaths), this can be a positive number, indicating growth, ora negative number which indicates a population decline. Calculate the deer population by adding/subtracting the population change from the population the year before The first row (1971) has been completed for you as an example. Graph the deer and wolf populations as two lines (color and label) Wolf Population Births Number of Deer Population deaths Year Deer Predation Starvation Deer Change Population 1970 starting population, data unknown for prior year. 2000 1971 10 800 400 100 500 +300 2300 1972 12 920 480 240 1973 16 1,000 640 500 1974 22 944 880 180 1975…arrow_forwardThe information below shows the number of hours Sarah worked out each month.
