Answer 2

Which do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.

Answer 3

i dont really get how immigration has anything to do with growth of something that isnt population

Answer 4

death rate - well thats just an oxymoron

Answer 5

emigration - i dont even know what that is

Answer 6

demography - is the study of populations i remember from high school geography classes

Answer 7

and birth rate ......

Answer 8

@PRAETORIAN.10 Well, rates (in this case) are the "speed" of something measured against a set period. So, to have a rate be the sum of four factors means that all the factors must be rates. Help?

Answer 9

Growth in a population = No of live births + No of immigrants - (No of deaths + No of emmigrants)

Answer 10

@PRAETORIAN.10 How about this, immigration is to implosion as emigration is to explosion.

Can you now guess the correct answer ?

Answer 14

demography

Answer 15

because you listed all of the options except it specifically

Answer 16

but you just said immigration implodes as in goes in on itself

Answer 17

Immigration = import, emmigration = export

Answer 18

@abhisar, Just to be more technically correct (the best kind of correct), your formula would be - No of deaths. BTW, just in case you don't know the reference, that bit of the correct thing is from Futurama.

Answer 19

???

Answer 20

i have written the same

Answer 21

i think you guys level of intelligence is somewhere up in the clouds and thats why i dont get anything youre saying 'cause i'm just human on earth

Answer 22

okay back to the question

Answer 23

immigration does play a role in growth rate because more immigrant organisms boost the overall population, no?

Answer 24

@PRAETORIAN.10 @Abhisar I just wanted to make sure he knew I was making a joke and not really meany anything by it. It was a reference to an off the air cartoon show.

Answer 25

@mrdoldum hey buddy as long as you dumb down your words 10 notches you can make as many jokes as you want

Answer 26

i've got no issue with jokes

Answer 27

you probs think im a bit of a joke

Answer 28

@mrdoldum kill my options down to two and we'll go from there cause you clearly know your business

Answer 29

i still think demography because its generalistic

Answer 30

@PRAETORIAN.10 Well, to find growth rate you have to know other rates. That means that growth rate is the sum of other rates. So, if something is not a rate it can automatically be excluded from a part of growth rate.

Answer 31

demography isnt a rate.....
