Document Summary
The trap-happy" experience showed great bias during the experiment because it caused a larger underestimate of the population size (rauschert, gibbson, and gore panter 2021). The actual population size of the voles is 100 individuals, while the results show that the. Lincoln-peterson estimate shows only an average of 86. 91 individuals (table 1). A similar situation happened with the trap-shy" experience, except that it was a large overestimate. As said previously, the actual population size was 100 individuals, but with the trap-shy experience, the lincoln-peterson estimate showed an average of 196. 26 individuals (table 1). Both experiments show bias because of the large overestimate and underestimate: the variability of both the trap-happy" and the trap-shy" experiences are high. Trap-happy" experience, the variability of the population estimate was 3,053 (table 1). Trap-shy" experience, the variability was estimated to be 33,723. 05 (table1). Compared to the other two experiments ran during this lab, these are high.
