Problem
A scientist studied the size of three beetle populations. The scientist counted the number of beetles in each population once, and then again 12 months later. The data is shown in the table below.
Beetle population | Population size (month 1) | Population size (month 12) |
---|---|---|
1 | 25 beetles | 325 beetles |
2 | 25 beetles | 285 beetles |
3 | 25 beetles | 175 beetles |
Which beetle population likely had the most resources during the 12 months between counts?
