Given an accuracy to which we need to estimate the population with a pre-specified confidence, we provide a simple stopping rule for the sampling process. ...
We estimate the population size by sampling uniformly from the population. ...
Here, we are interested in how many recaptures are necessary to estimate the population to a given accuracy with a specified confidence. ...
