Question

this table shows the same data about the population of german cockroaches. use the data to answer the question below. data about a population of german cockroaches
how did this population change over this time period? select all the statements that apply.
the total population size decreased.
the percentage of cockroaches with glucose aversion decreased.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total population at start

The total population at start is the sum of cockroaches with glucose aversion and without glucose aversion. So, \(85 + 115=200\).

Step2: Calculate the total population at end

The total population at end is the sum of cockroaches with glucose aversion and without glucose aversion. So, \(232+568 = 800\).

Step3: Analyze the percentage change for glucose - aversion cockroaches

The percentage of cockroaches with glucose aversion at start is \(42.5\%\), and at end is \(29\%\). So the percentage of cockroaches with glucose aversion decreased.

Step4: Analyze the total population change

The total population at start is \(200\), and at end is \(800\). So the total population size increased.

Answer:

The percentage of cockroaches with glucose aversion decreased.
