Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Lincoln-Peterson method is used to calculate the population size of animals. It is also known as Mark and recapture.
  • It is impractical to count all the animals of a particular species; the Lincoln-Peterson method helps to solve this problem.
  • It requires two visits to calculate the total population size of the animals.
  • The visits should be close so that no animals are born, die, or move in or out of the study place between the visits.
