Question 286582: This problem is hard for me to solve can you explain it to me.
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's estimate of the size of the bear population? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 50 bears were tagged
100 bears were sampled
2 /100 were found tagged
2/100=50/x
1/50=50/x
x=2500
