A gardening company would like to predict the density of the weed population in a yard before it is sprayed with pesticide. The yard measures 200 cm × 100 cm. The gardener places four 2.0 cm × 1.0 cm quadrats randomly in the park, and calculates the weed counts of 22, 46, 32 and 40 weeds in the 4 quadrats. Solve for the density of the weed population.

In a particular population of Paramecium species, 30 Paramecia were found in 4 mL of sample pond water. At another location, 85 Paramecia were found in 40 mL of sample pond water. What is the change in density of the Paramecium species? Express your answer rounded to two decimal places.
You wish to determine the abundance of the state- and federally-endangered Prairie Fringed Orchid (Platanthera lecuophaea) in a local prairie. (a) The prairie is approximately 100 acres of relatively flat terrain. Considering the “basic” sampling strategies, what might be a good sampling design (can just give the name)? Why? (b) You decide also to evaluate the abundance of the orchid in another prairie. The second prairie is of similar size but has a hilly terrain. What might be a good sampling strategy? Why?
A student decides to use the mark-recapture technique to estimate thepopulation size of mosquitofish in a small pond near his home. In thefirst catch, he marked 45 individuals. Two weeks later, he captured 62individuals, of which 8 were marked. What is the estimated size of thepopulation based on these data?a. 134 c b. 349 c. 558 d. 1,016 e. 22,320
To measure the population of lake trout in a 250-hectare lake, 100 individuals were netted and marked with a fin clip, and then returned to the lake. The next week, the lake is netted again, and out of the 300 lake trout that are caught, 15 have fin clips. Using the capture-recapture estimate, the lake trout population size could be closest to? Also, what formula do I use to solve this problem? Thank You!
In 1929, 13 white-tailed deer were introduced to an isolated island with no natural predators. A survey was conducted once a year to estimate the population of deer on the island. The table shows the deer population over the first five years on the island. The deer fed on many of the native plants found on the island, including the California false indigo, a thornless shrub that is a preferred food source on the island for deer. Based on the data, which of the following graphs correctly predicts the population of California false indigo from 1929 to 1941? Year of Survey Population of Deer 1929 13 1932 29 1935 66 1938 157 1941 398 image 1 because the California false indigo will be able to reproduce faster than it can be consumed by the deer and will be unaffected by the deer population, maintaining its current population image 2 because the increasing number of deer will help spread seeds of the plant and lead to a rise in…

You have been researching the biodiversity of different species of lizards in the Florida Everglades. You select a one square acre plot of land and begin tagging and counting the different reptiles found in that area over 6 months. After 6 months of research, you collected the following data: Species Count Green Anole 16 Brown Anole 72 American Alligator 3 Burmese python 2 Corn Snake 9 Eastern Glass Lizard 8 Use the blanks below to answer the following questions: 1. What is the biodiversity index of the one acre lot observed? 2. If you collected the same information for a second square acre 10 miles away and determined that acre to have a biodiversity index of 0.37, would you consider the first area to be biologically diverse and why or why not? 3. What do you think is suppressing biodiversity in the first acre counted? a b c
