Question 3. There is uncertainty around your estimate of r. Suppose that the true value of r is within the 95% confidence interval presented above. Use the model to calculate a best-case scenario and worst-case scenario for the amount of time it will take for the cricket population to become critically endangered. Show how you arrived at your conclusions.

# ANSWER 3 # we are calculating worst case with lowest value of 95% confidence interval which is -0.1% growth rate # and best case with highest value of 95% condfidence interval where growth rate is -0.01% # best case rb <- -0.01 years_with_best_case <-log(Endangered_population/current_population)/log(1+rb) # worst case rw <- -0.1 years_with_worst_case <-log(Endangered_population/current_population)/log(1+rw) # so in worst case it will take 44 years and in best case it will take 458 years around
