Number of Fish 92 56 52


How many eels are estimated to be present if a sample of 1,000 fish is collected from the lake?

Answer 1

280 is not an option but 292 is and 292 is the right answer trust me i took the pre-test btw good luck <3

Answer 2

280 eels

92 + 56 + 52 = 200
eel = 56/200

56 *5 x
----- = --------
200 *5 1000
56(5) = 280 x = 280

56/200 = 7/25
7/25 = 280/1000
