Question:
If N is the population density at time t, then what would be the population density at time t+1?
Options:
N(t+1) = N(t) + [ (B+E)-(D+I) ]
N(t+1) = N(t) + [ (B+I) +(D+E) ]
N(t+1) = N(t) + [ (B+I)-(D+E) ]
N(t+1) = N(t) + [ (B+E) + (D+I) ]
Correct Answer:
N(t+1) = N(t) + [ (B+I)-(D+E) ]
Explanation:
If N = population density at time t, then population density at time t+1 can be written as N (t+1 ​) = N (t) [(B+I)−(D+E)] where, B and I are natality and immigration. They add to population density. D and I are mortality and emigration. They decrease population density.
