Question

Suppose you use the "capture/recapture" method to come up with an estimate of 200 fish living in a pond. Assume that this result is accurate to within 20% of the estimate.

A. if P is the actual number of fish, write an inequality to describe the minimum number of fish in the pond.


B. Write an inequality to describe the maximum number of fish in the pond .

c. Combine your answers aboveinto a compound inequality.

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The number of the fish in the pond will be 834.

What is the number of the fish?

To estimate how many fish are in a lake is to use the capture/recapture method. Assume you capture 100 fish, you should tag them, then release them back into the water Following, you should capture 100 fish again and count about 12 of the tagged fish.

Now, you should assume the proportion of tagged-untagged fish is the same in your sample as the entire lake and assess the number of fish in the water.

$\dfrac{100}{12}=\dfrac{F}{100}$

$F=\dfrac{100\times 100}{12}=834$

hence the number of the fish will be 834.
