Sagot :

Answer:

No

Why not:

The midpoint of range is 3000. Yes, in from 1950-1955 there was a massive increase of the population of chipmunks but from then on it slowly decreased until 1990. In 1995, the population doubled from 1990. If you double 1440, you will get 2880. The biologist said between 2900-3100, using the midpoint of this range (3000) it is too low therefore being a bit unreasonable.
