ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE: Tag and Recapture Estimates Ecologists estimate the size of animal populations by capturing and tagging a few animals, and then releasing them. After the first group has mixed with the population, a second group of animals is captured, and the number of tagged animals in this group is counted. If originally T animals were tagged, and the second group is of size S and contains t tagged animals, then the population is estimated by the function of three variables

$$P(T, S, t)=\frac{T S}{t}$$
