Vocaloid · Answer

ten births: + 10
six deaths to predation: -6
three deaths to disease: -3
three joining the population: +3
zero leaving: 0

add these up. if positive ---> the population is increasing. if negative ---> the population is decreasing. if 0 ---> the population is staying the same.

carrying capacity is not mentioned, so the last choice is eliminated.
