Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random.

In a study of tree dispersion in a forest, we divided the forest into 1 sq km grid cells, choose 50 of them at random, and counted the number of trees in each cell. The means to variance ratio of the counts of trees per cell was much less than 1. What does this tell us about the spatial distribution of the trees?
