The carrying capacity for a population of squirrels is 620 squirrels, with a maximum rate of increase of 1. 0 per individual per year. Using the logistic population growth model, what is the approximate population growth rate for a population of 275 squirrels?
106 squirrels per year

153 squirrels per year

239 squirrels per year

389 squirrels per year

The approximate population growth rate for a population of 275 squirrels is 239 squirrels a year, counting deaths at the same rate.

How to calculate the population growth rate?

In technical terms, to obtain the growth rate (r), 1 is subtracted from the nth root of the quotient between the final population (Pt) and the population at the beginning of the period considered (P0), multiplying the result by 100 , where "n" is equal to the number of years in the period.

With this information, we can conclude that the approximate population growth rate for a population of 275 squirrels is 239 squirrels a year, counting deaths at the same rate.
