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 50 bass. You return to Dow's Lake two weeks later and use the same techniques to sample more bass. This time, you capture 36 bass, 21 of which you had previously captured (marked ones). What is the estimated size of the population of small mouth bass in Dow's Lake?
