A trap left set overnight is called a trap night. Ex. 10 straps set for 1 night = 10 trap nights.
a) 500 traps were set during the study. How many trap nights?
b) What was the catch per 100 trap nights in study?
c) A catch of 12 animals per 100 trap nights is considered average. How do the results in this case study compare with the average? might you account for the results?
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!! ANYTHING!! I AM SO INCREDIBLY LOST.
There are much data that are omitted. Because of this, we are as lost as you are. For example, how long is the study? Without that data, we cannot help you. Please respond with the needed data, and we will do our best to help you. Thanks for asking.
To solve this problem, we need to have a clear understanding of what a "trap night" means and the additional data provided in the problem.
a) To determine the total number of trap nights, we need to know how many nights the traps were left set. Let's assume the traps were set for n nights. In that case, the total number of trap nights can be calculated by multiplying the number of traps set (500) by the number of nights (n):
Total trap nights = Number of traps set x Number of nights
= 500 x n
b) To calculate the catch per 100 trap nights, we need to know the total catch during the study. Unfortunately, that information is not provided. Can you please provide the total catch during the study? Once we have that data, we can determine the catch per 100 trap nights by dividing the total catch by the total trap nights (from part a) and multiplying by 100:
Catch per 100 trap nights = (Total catch / Total trap nights) x 100
c) To compare the results of the case study with the average, we need the total catch again. Based on the given information, we don't have the necessary data to perform this comparison.
It's important to note that without the complete data and specific values, it's challenging to provide a more accurate analysis or account for the results. Please provide any additional information you may have so we can assist you further.
