The results of this program are shown in the following table. 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)

(Enter answer as a percent, rounded to 1 decimal place). Remember two things. First, percentages are applied using multiplication, so you cannot just add the 3 numbers together and divide by 3. Also, percent increases and decreases result in "percent of" so the factors in the multiplication are NOT the percent decreases, but the "percents of". You have to start by finding the geometric mean of the "percents of" and then use that to give the "average" percent decrease.arrow_forward
