The New Mexico Division of Fish and Wildlife keeps track of the silvery minnow population in the Rio Grande River. They tagged 54 silvery minnows and released them. A week later, they captured 62 silvery minnows, including 12 tagged silvery minnows. What is a good estimate of the silvery minnow population in the Rio Grande River?
