Biologists estimate deer populations by sampling a small area and using that information to estimate the entire
population of a large area. They use the equation p= na to estimate p, the population of deer in a acres of land, where
n is the number of deer per acre determined from the sampling. A biologist determines that 1,800 deer populate an area
of 150 acres. What value of n did the biologist find in the initial sampling of the population?
12
B 83
1,650
270,000


Sagot :

12 is the correct answer!

p (population) = n (number of deer per acre) a (number of acres)

1,800 deer in 150 acres:

1,800 ÷ 150 = 12 deer per acre

There were 12 deer in the acre the biologist sampled.
