A population of deer is sampled. 25 deer are caught and tagged. Two months later, the researchers

return and find that 4 of the 16 deer they observe have tags. This would suggest a total population size
of what number? Explain your answer. What will be an ideal response?


When the researchers returned, 25% of the deer they observed had tags. This suggests that they tagged
25% of the total population. Therefore, the total population would be 25 times 4 for a total of 100
deer.
