Rangers wanted to estimate the total number of elk in region of Montana. they tagged 12 elk and sent them back to the area. two months later the Rangers observed 4 of the tagged elk out of 25 total Elk observed. estimate the size of the elk population in that region of Montana

Respuesta :

Total number of elks tagged = 12

Number of a sample of the tagged elks from 25 total Elk observed = 4

Total number of 25 Elk observed = 12/4 = 3

Size of the elk population in the region of Montana ​ = 3 x 25

= 75
