Question 58753: . Bear population. To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conservationists captured, tagged, and released 50 bears. One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2-tagged bears. What is the conservationist estimate of the size of the bear population? Answer by tutorcecilia(2144) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2 out of 100 bears = (2/100)(100%)=2% tagged
Tagged by conservationists = 50 bears which represented an estimated 2% of the population = 50/.02=2500 total bear population.
