In an effort to determine the size of an animal

Chapter , Problem 26

(choose chapter or problem)

In an effort to determine the size of an animal population, 100 animals are captured and tagged. Some time later, another 50 animals are captured, and it is found that 20 of them are tagged. How would you estimate the population size? What assumptions about the capture/recapture process do you need to make? (See Example I of Section 1.4.2.)
