Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The per capita growth rate (r) of population based on previous calculations.
Given:
Reproductive rate,
Introduction:
Per capita growth rate involves the number of birth and death that occurs in a population. If reproductive rate (R0) and generation time (G) of a population are known then per capita growth rate (r) can be calculated.

K " refers to the carrying capacity. Based on the graph and the text, suggest a definition for "carrying capacity.
Consider the following actual and forecastdemand levels for Big Mac hamburgers at a local McDonald’srestaurant:
The forecast for Monday was derived by observing Monday’sdemand level and setting Monday’s forecast level equal tothis demand level. Subsequent forecasts were derived by usingexponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.25.Using this exponential smoothing method, what is the fore-cast for Big Mac demand for Friday?

I am a bit confused. Draw the plots using google sheets or excel and please include pictures of the plots and directions on how you plotted it. Equation 3 and 4 are attached as images. Equation (3) is density independent because the population growth that takes place between time t and time t +1 does not depend on the population density N. That is, it is density independent because there is no N term on the right hand side of Equation (3). In contrast, one possible discrete time mathematical model that includes density dependence (equation 4) is where K is the carrying capacity (expressed in units of population density). Note that when Nt= K, the whole term in the exponent equals zero. Since e0 = 1, this means that the ratio Nt+1/Nt does not change from one year to the next when Nt = K. 1a) Draw a plot of the ratio of population densities in Eq.
