Calculate the population growth in a population of wolves given the following rates: birth rate = 4, death rate = 3, immigration = 2, and emigration = 3.

Population Growth = (Birth Rate - Death Rate) + (Immigration - Emigration)

Population Growth = (4 - 3) + (2 - 3) = 1 - 1 = 0

Since the population growth is 0, the population remains stable.

To solve the problem of calculating the population growth for a population of wolves, follow these steps carefully:

1. Write down the given rates:
- Birth rate: 4
- Death rate: 3
- Immigration: 2
- Emigration: 3

2. Use the formula for population growth:
[tex]\[ \text{Population Growth} = (\text{Birth Rate} - \text{Death Rate}) + (\text{Immigration} - \text{Emigration}) \][/tex]

3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Population Growth} = (4 - 3) + (2 - 3) \][/tex]

4. Perform the calculations step-by-step:

- Calculate the difference between birth rate and death rate:
[tex]\[ 4 - 3 = 1 \][/tex]

- Calculate the difference between immigration and emigration:
[tex]\[ 2 - 3 = -1 \][/tex]

- Add the two results together:
[tex]\[ 1 + (-1) = 0 \][/tex]

5. Conclude the result based on the calculations:
- Since the population growth is 0,
- the population is stable, meaning there is no net change in the population size.

Filling in the blanks:
4 (Birth rate)
3 (Death rate)
2 (Immigration)
3 (Emigration)

Since the population growth is 0,
the population is stable or unchanged.
