The fоrmulа fоr the Lincоln-Peterson method of the mаrk-recаpture technique to study population sizes is below: Leonardo captures 26 Key largo woodrats and applies a small, metal ear tag to each one. He then releases the woodrats back into the population immediately after tagging them. A month later, he sets traps around the hammock and captures 12 Key Largo woodrats. Of the 12 Key Largo woodrats he captures the second time, 4 of them have ear tags. You do NOT have to calculate the number of animals estimated to be in the population, but show how you would set up the equation using the information provided. You can use a similar format as what is shown in the original formula.
