Answer 1

1. The current worldwide average rate of increase for the human population is about 1.3 .

In the year of 2000 worldwide average of increase in human population was 1.35 and in recent year (2019) this rate is 1.08 .

2. In the above logistics growth equation (1-N/K) represents proportion of resources not yet used.

Here 'G' is current number of individuals in the population, 'r' is growth rate, 'N' is initial number of individuals in the population, 'K' is carrying capacity.

3. Total fertility rates (TFRs) are highest in developing countries and lowest in developed countries.

Total fertility rate means total number of offsprings per woman, i.e. total number of children who are given birth by a woman.
