Transcript text: Unit Exam - Populations
\[
\begin{array}{c}
r=(C B R+I M A)-(C D R+E M) \\
C B R=1 \% \quad \text { IMA }=1 \% \\
C D R=1 \% \quad E M=3 \%
\end{array}
\]
What is $r$ ?
-2\%
4\%
6\%
Solution
To find the value of \( r \), we need to use the given formula:
\[
r = (CBR + IMA) - (CDR + EM)
\]
Substitute the given values into the formula:
\( CBR = 1\% \)
\( IMA = 1\% \)
\( CDR = 1\% \)
\( EM = 3\% \)
Now, calculate each part of the formula:
\( CBR + IMA = 1\% + 1\% = 2\% \)
\( CDR + EM = 1\% + 3\% = 4\% \)
Substitute these results back into the formula for \( r \):
\[
r = 2\% - 4\% = -2\%
\]
Therefore, the answer is \(-2\%\).
Explanation of options:
\(-2\%\): This is the correct answer, as calculated above.
\(4\%\): This would be incorrect because it does not account for the subtraction of \( CDR + EM \).
\(6\%\): This is incorrect as it does not match the calculation from the given values.
