1. There are 205 lions and 300 tigers in a savanna, which has a carrying capacity of 1300. The lion has a biotic potential of 1.5, while the tiger has a biotic potential of 0.5. Assuming that both populations follow the logistic growth pattern, which one will grow faster? Prove your answer using computations.
2. The population of monkeys in a tropical forest were recorded for two consecutive years. In the first year, 465 monkeys were recorded, while 875 were recorded in the second year. What is the monkeys' population growth rate in the second year? Show your solution.
3.In 2018, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported that the country's population reached 106.7 million. In the same year, they reported 590 709 deaths in the country. What was the death rate in the Philippines in 2018?

Answer:
The population that will grow faster is the lion population.
The biotic potential describes the population growth rate in ideal conditions. In the situation presented, this means:
Every year each lion has the capacity of breed 1.5 cubs.
Every year each tiger can breed 0.5 cubs.
Now, let's calculate the population increase in the first year
First year
Lion: 205 + (205x 1.5) = 512.5
Tiger: 300 + (300 x 0.5) = 450
Total of individuals: 962.5
Second year
Lion: 512.5 + (512.5 x 1.5) = 1,281.25
Tiger: 450 + (450 x 0.5) = 675
Total of individuals : 1,956.25
In the second year the carrying capacity would be reached, this means the populations will start to decrease.
Regarding, population growth the first year shows the lion population will grow faster because by the end of the first year the number of lion has already outnumber the number of tigers.
