To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conservationnists captured, 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?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "[(population count)/(# caught and tagged)]
\n" ); document.write( "= [(# caught including tagged)/(# tagged in 2nd catch)]
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "pop # /50 = 100/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "pop # = 50(50)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "pop# = 2500 bears
