The US Army (during the Vietnam War) colored code their ordinance, some examples follow: 1. Black tipped .50 caliber bullets were armor piercing. 2. Orange tipped machingun ammo indicated tracer ammo (the tracer element is a chemical). 3. Orange lettering or symbols indicated chemical content, such as tracer, agent orange, etc. 4. Yellow lettering or symbols indicated explosive. 5. Blue indicated inert (a training shell/round). 6. Green indicated a service round (live shell/round). These are the colors of Vietnam service medal awarded to persons who served in Vietnam. They are also the colors of the flag of the former Republic of Vietnam. While in country (Vietnam) some people personalized a hat or wore a necklace of beads, often red, yellow and green which we bought from, or we given by a Vietnamese person. A proud Vet

How do you conduct capture recapture experiment using coloured beads?

Take beads of two different colours eg 450 red and 50 yellow. The yellow beads represent animls which have been caught and marked. They are then 'released' thoroughly mixed with the red beads. You then take a random sample of the mixed beads in such a way that you cannot see the colour when you select them eg from a paper bag or with your eyes closed. You connt the number of red beads and yellow beads (the recaptured individuals) and calculate the total number of beads (the population size) using this formula: total number of organisms = [number in first sample x number in second sample] / number of organisms recaptured You can experiment with different sample sizes to see how reliable the method is.

A pouch contains 59 green beads 78 red beads and 50 yellow beads How many blue beads should be added so that the probability of drawing a red bead is one third?

For the probability of drawing a red bead to be one third then one third of the bead would need to be red. The number of red beads is 78 so twice as many should be 'not red' (156), at present the 'not red' beads (yellow and green) total 109, so to make the number up to the required 156 a further 47 beads need to be added so the number of blue beads needed is 47.
