In order to estimate the population of geese in Northern Wisconsin, ecologists marked 10 geese and then
released them back into the population. Over a 6 year period, geese were trapped and their numbers recorded.
24. Use the formula to calculate the estimated number of geese in the area studied. (Page 65)
This technique is called ________________________________ & __________________________________
25. Supposing more of the geese found in the trap had the mark, would the estimated number of geese in the area be
greater or lesser?
