Before giving the formulae for calculating population estimates, it is helpful to see again the details of the numbers of dip-tank areas in the different sub-regions, and the numbers of homesteads within dip-tank areas that possessed livestock. Firstly, here is the table that gives the numbers of dip-tanks in the sub-regions and the numbers sampled.
