To create a simulation of photosynthesis in a forest of 50,000 maple trees, a scientist needs to determine the average number of leaves on an actual maple tree. which of the following is the best course of action for establishing this parameter? . a. determine the average number of leaves for 10 randomly selected maple trees. b. choose a value at random to represent the average number of leaves on a tree. c. count the number of leaves on a single tree and assume all trees are the same. d. divide the total number of leaves on all the trees in a forest by 50,000.

A. Determine the average number of leaves for 10 randomly selected maple trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

By randomizing and selecting 10 trees you can have a very close estimate on how many leaves there are per tree in the whole forest in a relatively little amount of time, this can help the scientists advance easier with their study rather than sending a team to count every single leaf in the forests and they dividing it by the number of trees.

50 min

step-by-step explanation:

they will be decreasing both their times in half

60 / 2 = 30

40/2 = 20

30 + 20 = 50

ian gonna lie that is way to much
