A scientist samples, a deer population and finds 200 deer in an area of 10 mi.² on average how many deer can the scientist expect to find in an area of 300 mi.²

Answer 1

To find the expected number of deer in an area of 300 mi², we can use the ratio of the area sampled to the number of deer found.

The ratio of the area sampled to the number of deer found is:

(10 mi² / 200 deer)

To find the expected number of deer in an area of 300 mi², we can use this ratio:

(expected number of deer) = (300 mi²) / (10 mi²) * (200 deer)
= 300 * 200 / 10
= 6000 deer

Therefore, the scientist can expect to find approximately 6000 deer in an area of 300 mi².
