Ro = ? lxbx
= ? 0.39528 + 0.19437 + 0.15762 + 0.07616 + 0.0589 + 0.02064 + 0.01581 + 0.00299 = 0.92177
Generation Time
T = (? x(lxbx))/ (? lxbx )
? x(lxbx) = ? 0.39528 + 0.38874 + 0.47286 + 0.3464 + 0.2945 + 0.12384 + 0.11067 + 0.02392 = 2.15621
T = 2.15621/0.92177 = 2.3392
6) Project future population size at t = 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 years, using the following equations.
First, estimate the intrinsic rate of increase in the population, and include at least 4 digits to the right of the decimal in your results.
? = Ro1/T
? = ______________
Then project future population size given that N(t) = N(0) ?t ,where N(0) is the initial population size, which is 563.
N(10) = _____________ N(75) = _____________
N(25) = _____________ N(100) = _____________
N(50) = _____________
7) Graph the change in population size (Y axis) over time (X Axis). What is the predicted temporal trend (i.e., pattern over time) in this population based on the projections?

Provide two reasons for this trend? Explain each reason.
How could the projected trend be reversed?
