Summary Introduction

Introduction:

In human geography or biology, population growth is the rise in the count of people or individuals who lives in a state or territory. The rate of population change is calculated by given formula:

dNdt=rN(KN)K

Where,

dN/dt = rate of population change,

r = per capita rate of population growth,

N = population size, and

K = carrying capacity.

Let’s look at our population of 5,000 individuals (N) with a growth rate (r) of 0.01. What if K = 10,000?  How many more individuals will be added during the next year? 10 15 25 50 75
A population has 50 individuals in it, but the habitat's carrying capacity is 100 individuals. The birth rate is 2.0 and the death rate is 1.8. How many individuals would you expect to be in the population in the following generation?
A population has a current size of 100 and time steps are measured in years. If λ = 1.2, how big will the population be after 4 years?
