Extracted text: Below are data on the population of a species of moths that inhabit an island and breed annually (then die). Suppose the population model has the form Pn+1 = (1+r)Pn +H, where n is measured in years after 1995. That is, Po = population in 1995, P = population in 1996, etc. Year moths 1995 5000 1996 5100 1997 5190 (a) You are to determine the updating function for this population using the data in the table above. Which of the following equations are valid for this model and can be used to find the parameters? Select all correct choices. O5100 = 5000 ·r+u O5100 = 5190 · r + u O5100 = (1 +r)5190 + u V 5000 = (1 +r)5100 + u V5100 = (1 + r)5000 + u V5190 = (1 +r)5100 + u (b) Now use the equations to solve for the two paramaters. u = Submit Question
