A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given
lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of
young
fish. The commission has information on the seasonal catch (CATCH) in
thousands of bass per square mile; the size of the lake in square miles (SIZE); the
number of lakeshore residences per square mile (RESIDENCE); the number of living
places for bass (i.e. weed beds, sunken trees, drop offs etc.) (STRUCTURE) and
ACCESS a dummy variable equal to 1 if the lake has public access and 0 if not.

- It's not an easy life, but it's a good life! Suppose you decide to take the summer off and sign on as a deck hand for a commercial fishing boat in Alaska that specializes in deep-water fishing for groundfish. What kind of fish can you expect to catch? One way to answer this question is to examine government reports on groundfish caught in the Gulf of Alaska. The following list indicates the types of fish caught annually in thousands of metric tons: flatfish, 38.0; Pacific cod, 68.6; sablefish, 15.0; Walleye pollock, 70.1; rockfish, 20.3. Make a Pareto chart showing the annual harvest for commercial fishing in the Gulf of Alaska.arrow_forwardPlease explain I am lostarrow_forwardIn each of the following situations, identify the population, the units, and each variable that is measured, and tell if each variable is categorical or numerical.
