You are contracted by the City of Ottawa to estimate the size of the population of small mouth bass in Dow's Lake. Using nets, you capture, mark, and release 48 bass. You return to Dow's Lake two weeks later and use the same techniques to sample more bass. This time, you capture 39 bass, 18 of which you had previously captured (marked ones). What is the estimated size of the population of small mouth bass in Dow's Lake? Round your answer to the closest whole value. You can round up or down if your answer is exactly between two values (i.e. 0.5).
