Apark has n racoons of which 10 were previously captured, tagged, and released. suppose that later 20 racoons are captured. (a) find the probability that 5 of these are found to be tagged. denote this probability by p(n). (b) given the information that 5 were found to be tagged, a reasonable way to estimate n is to choose the value of n that maximizes the ob- servation probability p(n). find this value of n. (hint: compare the ratio p(n)=p(n 1) to unity.)
