BIO205H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Sample Size Determination, The Scientists
Document Summary
A population is a group of organisms that belong to the same species and occur in the same location at the same time. Hence to calculate the population we need to solve for n. We have a population estimated ranging from 75-960. The scientists have counted the same individual multiple times (miscalculation of sampling) Sample size we looked was small, what could influence the number of individuals encountered- chances are u have encountered the same individual multiple times. Groupings in the population who happen to be a part of the same environment, all will have an impact on how likely who are to encounter an individual.
