A garden measures 5 meters by 5 meters. Five gardeners each mark off a randomly selected region of the garden; each region is square and has side lengths of 1 meter, and no two regions overlap.
The gardeners count the number of carrots growing in each region.
Their results:
Region A - number of carrots: 13
Region B - number of carrots: 57
Region C - number of carrots: 36
Region D - number of carrots: 17
Region E - number of carrots: 69

Which of the following is a reasonable approximation of the number of carrots in the entire field?

2,000
5,000
10,000

Answer:

1,000

Explanation:

First find the area of the entire garden.

5*5=25 meters squared.

Now find the average amount of carrots in each 1 by 1 meter sample size.

(13+57+36+17+69)/5=38.4, this is the average number of carrots in 1 square meter.  Now multiply by 25 to find the number of carrots in a 25 square meter area.

38.4*25=960, This means that a reasonable appoximation would be 1,000 carrots.
