Chapter 14, Problem 13E
Starting in 2004, a study to determine the number of lake sturgeon on Rainy River and Lake of the Woods on the United States-Canada border was conducted by the Canadian Ministry of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the Rainy River First Nations. Using the capture-recapture method, the size of the population of lake sturgeon on Rainy River and Lake of the Woods was estimated at

- In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person per million grams emitted, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 18-mile18-mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. (In comparison, a city of 11 million people will inhale a total of about 1212 grams of exhaust per million grams emitted.)
