The table graph shows the population of Oregon Mule Deer between 1980 and 2018,
84 - 250
94 - 237.50
04 - 245
14 - 230.50
18 - 173.50
What was the average population decline between 1984 and 2018?
B. The average rate of population decline between 2004 and 2014 is 1.45 thousand deer per year. If the population continued to decline at this rate, between which 2 year period would the population have reached 225 thousand deer? Explain reasoning.
C. Calculate and compare the average rate of change of the population from 1994 to 2004 to that from 2004 to 2014. Explain what this means in terms of the population of deer.
