Question

Responses
A 3,000
B 2,000
C 2,600
D 2,300

Answer 1

We can use a proportion to estimate the population:

(known tagged population / total number recaptured) = (total population / sample recaptured)

Plugging in the values we know:

(200 / 16) = (x / 160)

Solving for x:

x = 200 * 10

x = 2,000

Therefore, the BEST estimate for the walleye population is option B, 2,000.
