In a population of 1000 individuals, 100 new individuals were born and 200
individuals died over the course of 1 year. which equation shows how to
calculate the population growth rate of this population?
o
a. 0.10 0.20 = 0.02
o
b. 0.10 - 0.20 = -0.10
o
c. 0.20 +0.10 = 0.30
o
d. 0.20 - 0.10 = 0.10

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that In a population of 1000 individuals, 100 new individuals were born and 200 individuals died over the course of 1 year.

We need to find the population growth rate of this population.

Rate of birth =

Rate of death =

The formula for rate of change is

Rate of change = Rate of birth - Rate of death

Rate of change = 0.10 - 0.20

Rate of change = -0.10

The required equation is 0.10 - 0.20 = -0.10.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.
