Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suppose the number of captured, tagged, and released animals of a population is small.

a. If only a few animals are recaptured, would you expect most of the recaptured animals to have tags? Explain.

b. If most animals are recaptured, would you expect most of the tagged animals to be recaptured?

Answer 1

a) yes because they would have already been tagged.
b) less than 1/2 chance because the number of captured, tagged and released animals were small.

Answer 2

Hi, aamirathameem!

For A. I would not suppose most of the recaptured animals already to have tags as the amount captured of the unknown total population is small, therefore resulting in a small chance for recapture.

For B. If most were recaptured then I would expect that some of the tagged animals would have been recaptured.
