In a capture/recapture program, 30% of the animals recaptured have tags. suppose 70 animals were originally captured, tagged and released. estimate the population. round to the nearest whole number.

Approximately , there are 233 animals in the forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a capture program of animals to get a count of the animals in that region.There were two rounds for that program. In the first round 70 animals were captured and all of them were tagged . In the second round , there were more animals caught but only 30% of those newly caught animals had tags.

Here we have to assume that no animal loses tag.

Let the total population be x .

Then 30% of the total population is 70.

Writing equation ,

x =233 animals

Approximately , there are 233 animals in the forest.
