To determine the number of deer in a game perserve, a forest ranger catches 129 deer, tags them, and release?

Wait a few days and catch another batch of deer. What percentage of deer have tags? Let's say it's 3%. That means 129 deer make up 3% of the preserve population. So you have 129 / 0.03 deer in the preserve, or 4,300.





That's how you determine the entire population by tagging and random sampling afterward.To determine the number of deer in a game perserve, a forest ranger catches 129 deer, tags them, and release?
Capture a sample of deer at some later date. The proportion of deer in the sample that are tagged is expected to be 129/the total number of deer. The following equation shows this relation:





129/total number of deer = number of captured deer that are tagged/number of deer in sample





total number of deer = 129*number of deer in sample/number of captured deer that are taggedTo determine the number of deer in a game perserve, a forest ranger catches 129 deer, tags them, and release?
Yes,if they have tags,they have already been counted.If they get killed by a car;they delete the tag number in the records.
