-Consider a population that begins growing exponentially at a base rate of 8% per year and then follows a logistic growth pattern. If the carrying capacity is 90 million, find the actual growth rate
When the population is 76 million.
A)1.24%
B)1.41%
C)1.12%
D)1.33%

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The logistic growth rate is given by the formula: actual growth rate = base rate * (1 - (population/carrying capacity)). Substituting the given values: 0.08 * (1 - (76/90)) = 0.0124 or 1.24%.
