A fun game about Capture-Recapture of fish, to approximate
the number of fish in the pond/lake.
The goal is to teach students about the Hypergeometric distribution
and its applications as well as other basic statistical concepts
such as estimation and confidence intervals.
Other applications of the Hypergeometric
Distribution, for example, are:
1. Estimating the number of mountain lions in a State park
2. Estimating the number of insects in a grove
This is just one estimation method in Statistics; there are
many other interesting distributions and analysis procedures
in this field as well.
