Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. (The capture) Capture a sample total counted =958, and them back tagged counted=38,total tagged=56
The idea is to estimate the proportion p = m/N of tagged =102.
Step 2. (The recapture) After everything has settled down, capture a new sample of n fish. Count the number of tagged fish. Suppose that k of them are tagged.
It is reasonable that, k/n would be a good estimante for p = m/N.
Accordingly, for an estimate N of N, se solve the equation m/N= k/n.
