How does the shape of age pyramid reflect the growth status of a population?
In a population of fish, gold scales are dominant to black scales.
A fish population of 100 total have 65 fish that have gold scales. Based on this information, what is the p value? Please report your answer as a decimal rounded to the hundredths.
