In a combined study of northern pike, cutthroat trout, rainbowtrout, and lake trout, it was found that 26 out of 857 fish diedwhen caught and released using barbless hooks on flies or lures.All hooks were removed from the fish.
(a) Let p represent the proportion of all pike andtrout that die (i.e., p is the mortality rate) when caughtand released using barbless hooks. Find a point estimate forp. (Use 4 decimal places.)
(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for p. (Use 4 decimalplaces.)
Give a brief explanation of the meaning of the interval.
5% of the all confidence intervals would include the truecatch-and-release mortality rate.
95% of the confidence intervals created using this method wouldinclude the true catch-and-release mortalityrate.  Â
95% of the all confidence intervals would include the truecatch-and-release mortality rate.
5% of the confidence intervals created using this method wouldinclude the true catch-and-release mortality rate.
