Examples of Capture-Recapture Sampling
Arbitrary Example 1
Let $25$ squirrels be captured, marked and released.
On a later date, let $40$ squirrels be captured and inspected.
Let $5$ of those be ones which were marked on the first capture exercise.
Then a fair estimate of the entire population of squirrels is $200$.
