Populations grow larger from births and immigration and grow smaller from deaths and emigration. The growth rate for a population is determined by adding the birth rate and the immigration rate, and then subtracting the death rate and the emigration rate (all rates expressed as the number per 1.000 individuals per year): | tbirth rate + immigration rate) (death rate + emigration rate) - growth rate Positive population growth rates lead to population increases, and negative population growth rates lead to population declines. Suppose you are studying a population with the following characteristics: Birth rate - 14 per 1.000/year Death rate - 6 per 1.G00/year Immigration rate - 5 per 1.000/year Emigration rate - 1 per 1.000/year What is the growth rate for this population?
