Population 3 starting from 500 individuals.
The following table gives the per capita production for four populations over a period of 10 years. Find the population over the 10 years starting from the given initial population, sketch a graph, and check whether the population has increased or decreased. Find the average per capita production (add up the 10 values for per capita production and divide by 10). Does an average greater than 1 always mean that the population is growing?
