To solve this problem, we need to calculate the density of the deer population and then use that density to estimate the number of deer in a larger area.
The density of the deer population is calculated by dividing the number of deer by the area:
Density = Number of deer / Area
Density = 200 deers / 10 square miles = 20 deer per square mile
Now, we can use this density to estimate the number of deer in a larger area of 300 square miles:
Number of deer = Density * Area
Number of deer = 20 deer per square mile * 300 square miles = 6000 deer
Therefore, the scientist can expect to find approximately 6000 deer in an area of 300 square miles.
A scientist samples, a deer population in fines 200 deers in an area of 10 square miles. On average, how many deer can the scientist expect to find in an area of 300 square miles
