- 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.
