A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given
lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of
young
fish. The commission has information on the seasonal catch (CATCH) in
thousands of bass per square mile; the size of the lake in square miles (SIZE); the
