Question:

In a lake with N fish, n1 of them tagged, the probability of obtaining m recaptured and n2−m previously uncaught fish in a simple random sample of size n2 is

image text in transcribed
The maximum likelihood estimator Ṅ of N is the value which maximizes L(N)—it is the value that makes the observed value of m appear most probable if we know n1 and
n2. Find the maximum likelihood estimator of N. When is L (N) ≥ L (N − 1)?
