Question

Show work please! Herald is keeping track of eagles. To do so, he put tags on 25 eagles and released them.

Later, he catches 120 eagles; 16 eagles were tagged. Find the best estimate for the Eagle
population?

Answer 1

188

Explanation:

16/120=0.133

0.133 times 100=13.3%

this means 25 eagles is only 13.3% of the population

therefore 25/0.13=188
