If the CBR = 40 and the CDR = 10, then the RNI
A)would be relatively low.
B)would not exist since growth would be in the negative.
C)would equal the doubling time of the population.
D)would be relatively high.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The RNI (Rate of Natural Increase) is calculated by subtracting the CDR (Crude Death Rate) from the CBR (Crude Birth Rate). In this case, the RNI would be 30 (40-10). A RNI of 30 indicates a relatively high population growth rate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, which says that the RNI would be relatively high.
