Answer:
539
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total population of grizzly bears=x
In the first capture, 97 were tagged.
Therefore, ratio of the total population to the tagged=x:97
A month later, when 200 bears were captured, 36 were tagged.
Ratio of the sample to the tagged=200:36
Since a sample is representative of the population, the ratios are the same. We therefore have:
x:97=200:36
There are about 539 grizzly bears in the population
