Question 124872: Plase help??
To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conversationists tagged and released 50 bears. One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist's estimate of the size of the bear population?

Real population/tagged = tagged population/recaptured
-------------
x/50 = 50/2
x = 2500/2
x = 1250
------------
The bear population numbers 1250
