Figure 19.2 shows track patterns of wolf packs, mapped in a census of a study region in the Gulkana River area of Alaska (Becker 1990). The number yk of wolves in each pack is given near each set of tracks. Using the baseline (west-east), which starts along the base of the study region and continues through the middle of the region, select a simple random sample of three south-north transects. Estimate the total number of wolves in the region from your sample using τˆp. Estimate the associated variance.
