Last time I asked this question it was incorrect.
A critically endangered dolphin is currently restricted to a relatively small stretch of coastline. The dolphins are "captured" by just collecting samples of DNA and "tagged" by identifying their DNA fingerprint. A 2010-2011 capture recapture study "captured" and "tagged" 29 dolphins in 2010. In 2011, 30 dolphins were "recaptured" and through their DNA, 11 were identified as having been "tagged" in 2010. Based on the standard capture-recapture formula, estimate the population of dolphins in 2011. . . . Based on the standard capture-recapture formula, there were dolphins in 2011. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number as needed. Round all intermediate values to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
