A population of mice in a field contains 5000 individuals at the beginning of a study. During the course of 1 year 2500 new individuals are born and 1000 individuals die, such that the population size after 1 year is 6500. Assuming that annual per capita birth rate (b) and per capita death rate (d) do not change, what will the population size be after another year has passed
