Asked by Lucy
Santiago, a park ranger, was trying to estimate the number of catfish in a lake. He randomly caught 32 catfish, tagged them, and let them go.
Six months later, he surveyed fisherman at the lake about how many catfish they caught that were tagged. His survey results showed that 350 catfish were caught and 13 had tags on them.
Which is the best estimate for the size of the catfish population in the lake?
