Hey Chips_ (and thanks for the mention @jinx_58),
Yeah, there are a few issues I see. So, for a Leslie matrix, you actually don't need an "age bracket", strictly speaking; you only need the data for each age. For example, the survival and fecundity rate for 3-year-olds. However, from the information you've given, you also need the breakdown of the initial population into each of the ages. So right now, you've got the total population (i.e. 1935) but you need the population for each age (e.g. there are 300 8-year-olds, 435 9-year-olds etc.). So, the things you need to build a Leslie matrix is:
- initial population data for each age
- survival rates for each for each age
- fecundity rates for each age
You won't have data for the last age because you assume they will die after that age.
I hope this answered your question and if you need help with building the Leslie matrix, you could send a screenshot of the task sheet with the data and I can help you out with that.
