20 deer

Answer 1

Given that the density of the deer population is 200 deer in 10 square miles, the density is 20 deer per square mile. Therefore, in an area of 300 square miles, the scientist can expect to find 20 deer per square mile * 300 square miles = 6000 deer.

Therefore, the correct answer is 6,000 deer.
