Which of the following is an example of an indirect observation?
a. a scientist counts the exact number of snakes in a field.
b. scientist traps fish and
estimates the population of male and female fish based on the ratios of fish he trapped.
c. a scientist counts every frog in a pond.

b. scientist traps fish and  

estimates the population of male and female fish based on the ratios of fish he trapped.

The key word is estimate. Estimate means that he gives a rough number. There aren't exactly that number of fish.

A. and C. are both exact numbers because the scientists manually count each one. This means these are direct observations, and therefore not the answer.

Hope this helped!

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.

whichever one it is, it's definitely not one that you included on the list you provided.
