Answer:
The correct answer is : 144.
Explanation:
Given:
K or carrying capacity = 2000
N or population size = 1200
rmax or maximum per capita growth rate = 0.3
formula:
growth rate = [tex](rmax) (N) \frac{K-N}{K}[/tex]
Solution:
by the formula ,
growth rate =
[tex](0.3) (1200) \frac{2000-1200}{2000}[/tex]
= [tex]360 [\frac{800}{2000}][/tex]
= 360 × 0.4
= 144
Thus, the correct answer is : 144.
