Question

The population change equation is Population change = (Natality – Mortality) + (Immigration – Emigration). Which equation would create a stable population?(1 point)
Responses

natality + immigration = mortality + emigration
natality + immigration = mortality + emigration

natality + immigration = mortality - emigration
natality + immigration = mortality - emigration

natality - mortality = immigration - emigration
natality - mortality = immigration - emigration

natality + mortality = immigration + emigration

Answer 1

To create a stable population, the number of births (natality) plus the number of immigrants must equal the number of deaths (mortality) plus the number of emigrants. This means that the additions to the population (from births and immigration) balance out the losses from deaths and emigration.

The equation that reflects this balance is:

**natality + immigration = mortality + emigration**

So the correct response is:

**natality + immigration = mortality + emigration**
