The number of trees that died is an illustration of proportions.

The lowest value of X that is consistent with the belief that the tree died due to mishandling is 1.5

From the question, we have: 1 out of 10 died

This means that, the mean number of trees that died are:

[tex]\mathbf{\bar x =\frac{1}{10}}[/tex]

In 15 trees, the number (n) of trees expected to die is:

[tex]\mathbf{n = \bar x \times 15}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{n = \frac{1}{10} \times 15}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n = 1.5}[/tex]

Hence, the lowest value of X is 1.5
