Question

Use a proportion to estimate each population. (Please solve both questions, thank you) (I’ll reward you with brainliest :)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. (The capture) Capture a sample  total counted =958, and them back tagged counted=38,total tagged=56

The idea is to estimate the proportion p = m/N of tagged =102.

Step 2. (The recapture) After everything has settled down, capture a new sample of n fish. Count the number of tagged fish. Suppose that k of them are tagged.

It is reasonable that, k/n would be a good estimante for p = m/N.

Accordingly, for an estimate N of N, se solve the equation m/N= k/n.
