Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
Scientists are trying to estimate the size of a bird species whose local population is 325. Since they cannot see all 325 at once, they will estimate it using mark-recapture methods. They initially capture 64 individuals, mark them, and release them. They then recapture 50. What is the most likely number of MARKED birds in their recapture sample? (You may need to round up or down for the correct answer.)

The neighborhood of a lake has a population of snails, which come out onto the sidewalk when the sprinklers come on, and the rest of the time they hide in the vegetation. If you catch 20, and mark them and, then, a week later, after they have had a chance to disperse into the population, you catch 15, and 6 have marks on them, what is the estimated size of the population?
