Graph that shows the likelihood of death for an individual.

Results when two or more organisms need the same resource

During one year, two rabbits were born into a population and five emigrated to look for better food sources. Seven rabbits died in the population and 12 immigrated into the population.

What was the population growth during this year?

Use this formula:

population growth = (birth rate + immigration) – (death rate + emigration)
