question 3 of 10
in 2011, the birthrate in hungary was 9 (per 1000 people). in the same year,
the death rate in hungary was 13 (per 1000 people). what was hungarys
approximate growth rate in 2011?
a. an increase of 117 (per 1000 people)
b. an increase of 22 (per 1000 people)
c. an decrease of 22 (per 1000 people)
d. a decrease of 4 (per 1000 people)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the growth rate

Growth rate = Birth rate - Death rate.
Given birth rate \(b = 9\) (per 1000 people) and death rate \(d=13\) (per 1000 people).
So, growth rate \(r=b - d\).

Step2: Substitute the values

\(r = 9-13=- 4\) (per 1000 people).

Answer:

D. A decrease of 4 (per 1000 people)
