game wardens use experiment to help determine the number of deer in the state of north carolina soppose 120 deer are caught tagged and realeased back into the wild a month later 800 deer are cought whith 16 found to have tags estimate the number of deer in north calorina
Assuming that the ratio of tagged deer to untagged deer in the second catch is representative of the entire deer population, we can set up a proportion:
120 tagged deer / total population = 16 tagged deer / 800 caught deer
Cross-multiplying gives:
120 tagged deer * 800 caught deer = 16 tagged deer * total population
Simplifying:
96,000 = 16 * total population
Dividing both sides by 16 gives:
6,000 = total population
Therefore, based on the experiment, the estimated number of deer in North Carolina is 6,000. However, it's important to note that this is just an estimate and may not be exact.
