A student investigated the stomatal density on the lower epidermis of Eucalyptus leaves. They used a light microscope to count the number of stomata in five circular fields of view.

The diameter of each circular field of view was 400 μm400\text{ }\mu\text{m}400 μm.

The number of stomata recorded in the five fields of view were:

  • Field 1: 313131
  • Field 2: 282828
  • Field 3: 353535
  • Field 4: 292929
  • Field 5: 323232

Calculate the mean stomatal density for these fields of view. Give your answer to 3 significant figures as the number of stomata per mm2\text{mm}^2mm2. Show your working.
