- 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.)
