7. A biologist estimates that there are 1,800 fish in a quarry. To test this estimate, a student caught 150 fish from the quarry, tagged them, and released them. A few days later, the student caught 50 fish and noted that 4 were tagged. Determine whether the biologist's estimate is likely to be accurate.

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

in 5 and 6 there are few flaws in their experiment, so there is no way to disprove the information they find. However in 7, the biologist can't prove that having 4 tagged fish out of 50 means there are 1,800 fish in that quarry. Therefore it is inaccurate and biased.
