Where is Dinsmore out catchin fish while we 'thrash' this?
I wonder if it is practical for him to sample 30 bass in his one acre? Plus this could put a significant risk for making hook smart bass plus what hook shyness they already have developed.
If all the 80 stocker bass survived then collecting 30 is 37% of the population and if 50 of the 80 stockers survived, collecting 30 is 60% of the population. Are there any statisticians out there? How many of 80 are needed to get a good (significiant) sample?
Al Gore's internet is amazing - LOL.
I went to a metrics sampling website and found:
If we sample 30 as suggested by Lusk then we get a 14% sampling error.
If we have a population of 80 bass and we sample 10 bass then at the 95% confidence level there is 29% error of our evaluation.
If we have a population of 80 and sample 5 bass we get a 42% error at the 95% confidence accuracy level.
If we have only 50 bass and sample 5 we get a 42% error.
Reference used, however there are other sites.
