3. In 1940 there were 12 whooping cranes in the population. In 1945, five years after hunting whooping cranes was made illegal, ecologists calculated the whooping crane population growth rate (X) at 1.2 and estimated the population size to be 30 individuals. Using the population growth rate calculated from 1940-1945, what would be the estimated population size for whooping cranes 20 years into the future (1965)?
