Instead of growing explosively, population growth tends to level off because the population reaches the carrying capacity of a particular environment. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can sustainably support, given its resources such as food, water, and habitat. As resources become limited, factors such as competition, predation, and disease increase, leading to a stabilization of population size. Consequently, populations oscillate around this carrying capacity rather than continuing to grow indefinitely.

Why isn't evolution by natural selection progressive?

Evolution by natural selection is not inherently progressive because it does not have a predetermined goal or direction. Instead, it is driven by the environment and the survival of the fittest individuals in a given population. This means that evolution can lead to changes that are not necessarily "better" or more advanced, but simply better suited to the current environment.

How can you draw a random sample?

Random sampling simply means the sample you chose from a population for a particular statistics must be random and not biased. One way is to have all names of the population to be randomly drawn by a computer system or a manual system (eg. drawing names from a fish bowl). Obtaining statistics information from a supermarket or from a particular group of social group is not random sampling as it is believe people of the same group has the same opinion. Eg. If you want to do a survey on how often people shop in Walmart, obtaining sample from Walmart shoppers is NOT random sampling because you are only doing survery on those who are already shopping in Walmart. Instead do random survery in a particular work environment unrelated to Walmart or door by door interview as this will allow access to a variety of people including those who never shop in Walmart (a data you cannot obtain from Walmart shoppers)
