6. You are interested in a population of mockingbirds on an island. You measured the population size for two years: Population size at time 0 = 75 birds, Population size after 1 year = 100 birds, Population size after two years = 145 birds. What is lambda between year 0 and year 1?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.3333...

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know that

[tex]\lambda = \frac{N_{t+1}}{N_t}[/tex]

Where [tex]N_t = Population  \ at \  the  \ initial \ year\\N_{t+1} = Population \ one \ year \  after[/tex]

Using the data of the problem

[tex]\lambda = \frac{100}{75} = 1.333...[/tex]

so lambda is 1.333...
