The total fertility rate in country A was 6.8 in 1980. Which of the following statements best supports the change in the total fertility rate in country A between 1980 and 2015?

• The total fertility rate increased as a result of improved health care and better nutrition.

• The total fertility rate remained constant even though there was improved access to clean water.

• The total fertility rate decreased as a result of a delay in age of first marriage and increased contraceptive use.

• The total fertility rate decreased as a result of increased infant mortality rate.

Members of an r-selected species characteristically

• grow slowly

• produce few offspring

• reach sexual maturity quickly

• have long life spans

• are very protective of their offspring

Which of the following characteristics in the table best supports the claim that:

Country A is a more developed country and that Country

B is a less developed country?

• population size

• land area

• infant mortality rate

• net migration rate

The crude growth rate, r , of a population is calculated by

• multiplying the existing population size by life expectancy

• dividing the crude birth rate by 2

• dividing the doubling time by 70

• adding the crude birth rate to the crude death rate

• subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate
