Solution

To calculate the death rate in the population, you need to divide the number of deaths by the total population.

Step 1: Identify the number of deaths. In this case, it's 8 Drosophila.

Step 2: Identify the total population. In this case, it's 80 Drosophila.

Step 3: Divide the number of deaths by the total population.

So, 8 (deaths) ÷ 80 (total population) = 0.1

Therefore, the death rate in the population is 0.1 individuals per Drosophila per week.
