Estimating Population Size Lab The capture/recapture method helps biologists estimate the size of a population. In this lab, we will use a simulation to estimate the population of fish based on a sample. To do this, we will use a Gizmo to tag and release a certain number of fish, and then recapture some. Before we open the Gizmo, let's do a warm-up considering a bag of colored marbles. Warm-up Problems Problem 1: A jar contains 100 marbles total. Some are blue. If we pull 4 marbles out to and 1 is blue, how many out of 100 marbles would we guess are blue? There are blue marbles. (Click to view explanation) Problem 2: In a different jar, we know there are 100 blue marbles, but we do not know the total of marbles in the jar. If we pull out 4 marbles and 1 is blue, what is a good guess for the total number of marbles in the jar? There are marbles total. (Click to view explanation) Source: @ 2017 ExploreLearning.
