To determine the number of in a lake , a conservationist catches 450 trout's , tags them, and releases them. Later 88 are caught, and it is found that 45 of them are tagged. Assuming that the proportion of tagged in the second sample was the same as the proportion of tagged in the total population, estimate the number of in the lake.
