Chapter 54, Problem 4Q

Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The per capita growth rate (r) of population based on previous calculations.

Given:

Reproductive rate, ${\text{R}}_{\text{0}}=\text{1}\text{.792}$ and generation time, ${\text{G}}_{\text{0}}=2.44$.

Introduction:

Per capita growth rate involves the number of birth and death that occurs in a population. If reproductive rate (R₀) and generation time (G) of a population are known then per capita growth rate (r) can be calculated.
