The goal of this lab is estimate the population of llamas in the enclosed area of our minecraft world. You and your group is to design and implement a sampling plan such that you get your estimate. The estimate must be one number - a point estimate value that you think is the true population number. However you can design your sampling plan using inferences so that you can then find that estimate number. Here is an example of a real sampling plan estimating nuclear waste hazards in the Hanford Site, but your project is not going to be this robust (https://www.hanford.gov/files.cfm/MSA_Attachment.pdf)

Sampling plan template:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S6KRmUh7Hbc1qYb6ujunJViaCE1UhVnCfyT-eSXlRBw/edit?usp=sharing

Grading:

Sampling plan: 55 points

The plan must be exactly 2 pages long (excluding your sampling map). You will be graded therefore on the depth of your descriptions for each section of the plan. Be concise and as detailed as possible, check grammar, and check that you meet the criteria for each section.

Sampling map: 15 points

The sampling map will be graded on the quality of work, and must include all the features of a map (sample locations, key, coordinates of interests, title, scale bar).

Accuracy: 30 points

Your population estimate must be within the following to receive the following grades:

-> 30 points

-> 29 points

-> 27.6 points

-> 25 points

-> 23 points

-> 20 points

-> 17 points

Bonus: Whichever team who finds and keeps Scruffy the Llama by the end of the lab (end of class friday 5/24) will be awarded additional points.
