From the statement, we know that:
• 11 bass are counted per 1,000 cubic meter sample, we have the ratio r = 11 bass/1,000 m³,
,• we have a pond with dimensions a = 80 m, b = 50 m and c = 10 m.
1) The volume of the pond is:
[tex]V=a\cdot b\cdot c=(80m)\cdot(50m)\cdot(10m)=40,000m^3.[/tex]2) The total number of bass is given by the product:
[tex]N=r\cdot V=\frac{11bass}{1,000m^3}\cdot40,000m^3=440bass.[/tex]Answer
The estimated bass population in the pond is 440 bass.
