An ecology student estimates the total population of wild clover patches in a grass meadow.
Figure 1 shows a plan of the meadow.
The student places a quadrat at 15 different random positions on the grass meadow. Each quadrat measures 50 cm×50 cm50\text{ cm} \times 50\text{ cm}50 cm×50 cm.
The mean number of clover patches found in each quadrat is 3.73.73.7.
