A Biologist Is Developing Models to Describe the Population Dynamics

Multiple Choice

A biologist is developing models to describe the population dynamics of the species he studies. Four models are listed. Each model is based on the logistic model, with r equal to 1 and K equal to 100. The initial population size is given by N₀. In which of his models of population growth would the population be most likely to go extinct?

A) deterministic model, N₀ = 5
B) stochastic model, N₀ = 10
C) deterministic model, N₀ = 100
D) stochastic model, N₀ = 150
