1. A biologist wanted to estimate the size of the trout population in a lake. She marked and released 109 trout, and in a second sample a few days later caught 177 trout, of which 57 were marked. What is the best estimate of total population size?
2. A mouse species has a maximum lifespan of four years. Two-year-old mice (between the ages of 2 and 3) produce 2 babies per year, and three-year-old mice produce 3 babies per year. Babies (between 0 and 1 year of age) and one-year-old mice do not reproduce. In 2000, there were 50 baby mice, 10 one-year-old mice, 5 two-year-old mice, and two three-year-olds. What are the values of nx for x = 0, 1, 2, and 3 in 2000? What are the values of m x (=b x) for x = 0, 1, 2, 3? What are the values of lx for each age? How do you calculate the net reproductive rate R0? What is its value? Is the population increasing or decreasing in size? Why?
Please help! Please show clear explanations and methods to get to the answers so I can understand. Thank you so much in advance!

You are a conservation biologist, and you discover a small population of plants that live in rocky patches of land on the western side of the Superstition mountains (population A). These plants are biennial, meaning that they reproduce only in their second year of life and then die. The population you discover in Year 1 consists of 150 seeds, 30 one-year-old (vegetative) plants, and 10 two-year-old (flowering) plants. Other biologists at ASU have already done the long and hard research...
Leslie Matrix-Calc 2 Question
1) What is the fraction of one-year-olds present at time t that
survive to time t+1?
2)What is the average number of female offspring of a
two-year-old female?
Assume the given Leslie matrix L for a population of female birds. Determine the number of age classes in the population, the fraction of one-year-olds present at time t that survive to time t + 1, and the average number of female offspring of a two-year-old-female. 2 4...
This experiment started with 50 snails. What was the calculated
estimate of population size (N) for each of the samplings? How
close were the calculations? Was the average of the two
samplings close to the actual starting population size?
Speculate why there was a difference between the estimated and
actual values for the number of snails.

(1 point) The sample size needed to estimate the difference between two population proportions to within a margin of error E with a significance level of α can be found as follows. In the expression E=z∗p1(1−p1)n1+p2(1−p2)n2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√ we replace both n1 and n2 by n (assuming that both samples have the same size) and replace each of p1, and p2, by 0.5 (because their values are not known). Then we solve for n, and get n=(z∗)22E2. Finally, increase the value of...
