Biologist tagged 700 rabbits in Bryer Lake National Park. At a later date, they found 6 tagged rabbits in a sample of 1800. Estimate
the total number of rabbits in Bryer Lake National Park.

Answer 1

• 210000 rabbits

Explanation:

Ratio of tagged to non-tagged is:

• 6 : 1800 =
• 1 : 300

This is 300 non-tagged per 1 tagged

Since there are 700 tagged rabbits, the estimated number is:

• 700*300 = 210000
