To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula,
\n" ); document.write( " conservationists captured, tagged, and released 50 bears.
\n" ); document.write( "One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the conservationist’s estimate of the size of the bear population?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = estimation of no. of bears
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F100\" = \"50%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 100 * 50
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2500 bears \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
