There is a colony of racoons existing in isolation in Georgia. These racoons have a steady birth rate of 8.00% per year and a steady death rate of 5.25% per year. Gunston Hall is conducting a 14-year study of this colony. In the beginning of the first year, the colony has 1800 racoons. At the end of the 7th year, a regional drought triggers a massive relocation, and 101 racoons move from the north to join the colony. • The population equation is given by: P (t + 1) = P(t) + deltat * (birth When deltat is 1 year, the equation can be written as P (t+1) = P(t) + (birth • Model the racoon population trend using the population equation with a correction using floor(). Then, add an appropriate one-time correction for the immigration at the end of the 7th year. if (???) death)*P(t); • Your program should clearly define and use the variables P, t, deltat, birth, and death. For each variable, you need to write a comment to explain the meaning of the variable in the context of this particular model. Find P. • Create a plot to track the racoon population from the beginning of the 1st year through the end of the 14th year (which is the same as the beginning of the 15th year).
