Chapter , Problem 7.2.39

(choose chapter or problem)

Life Sciences Biologists use capturerecapture models to estimate how many animals live in a certain area. A sample of fish are caught and tagged. When subsequent samples of fish are caught, a biologist can use a capture history matrix to record (with a 1) which, if any, of the fish in the original sample have been caught again. The rows of this matrix represent the particular fish (each has its own identification number), and the columns represent the number of the sample in which the fish was caught. Here is a small capture history matrix. Sample 1234 100010011111a. What is the dimension of this matrix? Write a sentence that explains the meaning of dimension in this case. b. What is the meaning of the 1 in row A, column 4? c. Which fish was captured the most times?
