Question 1030072: to estimate how many frogs there are in a rain forest, - biologist catches and tags 600, frogs, and then releases them. later she.catches 300 frogs and finds that 25 are tagged. Estimate the total frog population in the forest Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 600 frogs are tagged.
For every 300 frogs, 1 in 12 are tagged.
Therefore, for 600 frogs tagged, there should be 7200 in the population.
