Using proportions to estimate population size
Estimating the size of a population of animals, like salmon, is very challenging. The “tag and recapture” technique provides surprisingly accurate results. Simulate this sampling process using colored disks to represent salmon. Use proportions to predict the total population from the distribution of tagged fish found in “captured” samples.
