Answer:

37 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Le the numbers be x and y

Then we have equations:

x + y = 32
5x - 2y = 195

As per the first equation:

y = 32- x

Substitute in the second equation

5x - 2(32 - x) = 195
5x + 2x - 64 = 195
7x = 195 + 64
7x = 259
x = 259/7
x = 37

Then finding the value of y

y = 23 - 37 = -5

In a capture-recapture study, 97 grizzly bears were tagged and released back into the wild. A month later, 200 bears were captur

3241004551 [841]

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

$\dfrac{x}{97} =\dfrac{200}{36}\\ $Cross multiply\\36x=200 X 97\\x=200 X 97 \div 36\\x=538.9 \approx 539$

There are about 539 grizzly bears in the population
