Answer 1

To determine the size of the group after the changes:

1. Start with the initial group size: 10 members.
2. Four females emigrate: 10 - 4 = 6 members.
3. Two females immigrate: 6 + 2 = 8 members.
4. Two gorillas are born: 8 + 2 = 10 members.
5. One male dies: 10 - 1 = 9 members.

Therefore, the size of the group after all these changes is 9.
