using an area of 200 km of the kaibab plateau, the area is split into 1 km quadrants. from a sampling of 40 quadrants, 320 deer were captured. what is the population density of the sampled area?

population density is usually put in units of pop/km^2;

 

so if 40 of your km^2 have 320 deer in them;

 

\(\frac{320}{40} = 8\)deer/km^2

 

could be a different question if it asked for the density in pop/miles^2
