Transcribed Image Text:Island Size 21 12 11 19 21 42 |13 23 28 (hectares) Puffin Pop. |120 38 60 104 130 229 63 111 132 Find the average population density and the variance in density among these islands.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution :

Island size(hectares) Puffin population
21 120
12 38
11 60
19 104
21 130
42 229
13 63
23 111
28 132

Population density = Population/ Land area

SO population density for island 1 = 120/21 = 5.714 per hectares

Population density for island 2 = 38/12 = 3.166 per hectares

We can calculate population density for remaining island using same method.
