Aphid growth on broccoli: This problem and the following one are based on the results of a study by R. Root and A. Olson of population growth for aphids on various host plants.44 The value of r = 0.243 per day is valid for aphids reared on broccoli plants outdoors. The table on the next page describes the growth of an aphid population reared on broccoli plants indoors (in a controlled environment). Time t is measured in days.

Calculate r for this table. Did the aphids fare better indoors or outdoors?
