-Using information from the table above,calculate the net reproductive rate (R₀)for this population.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net reproductive rate (R₀) is calculated by adding up the number of female offspring each individual produces and dividing by the initial number of females. In this case, the calculation would be as follows:

((10 x 0.8) + (6 x 0.9) + (4 x 0.7) + (2 x 0.6)) / (10 + 6 + 4 + 2) = 3.26

Therefore, the best choice is B)3)26.
