Question: On the first sampling occasion you capture 54 animals. On the second sampling occasion you capture 38 animals, and 12 of those were also captured
On the first sampling occasion you capture 54 animals. On the second sampling occasion you capture 38 animals, and 12 of those were also captured during the first sampling occasion. Use the Lincoln-Peterson estimator to answer the below questions.
What is X10 equal to 54-12= 42
What is X01 equal to 38-12= 26
What is X11 equal to 12
What is n1 equal to 54
What is n2 equal to 38
What is m2 equal to 12
What is your maximum likelihood estimate for the population size ((54+1)(38+1)/(12+1)) - 1= 164
What is the estimated variance of your population size estimate (54+1)(38+1)(54-12)(38-12)/ (12+1)^2(12+2) =990
