Ecologists use a formula to estimate the age of ancient boundary hedges based on the diversity of species:

Estimated age (years)=(mean number of woody plant species per 30 m)×120+25\text{Estimated age (years)} = (\text{mean number of woody plant species per } 30\text{ m}) \times 120 + 25Estimated age (years)=(mean number of woody plant species per 30 m)×120+25

The table below shows the data collected from five different hedges:
