There are 45 wild hogs in a forest, of which 8 were caught earlier and labeled. Some time later, for the purpose of monitoring health of the population, 5 traps were set to catch 5 hogs (randomly from these 45 wild hogs, one hog per trap). Assume all the indivuduals have the same chance of being captured. What is the probability that out of the five wild hogs captured, exactly 2 were previously labeled.
