Twelve fishers were captured between February 1 and February 19, 1982; of those 12, 4 had also been captured in the first sample. Give an estimate of the total number of fishers in the area, along with a 95% CI for your estimate.

b In the second study, 16 fishers were captured between September 28 and October 31, 1982, and 19 fishers were captured between November 1 and November 17, 1982. Eleven of the 19 fishers in the second sample had also been caught in the first sample. Give an estimate of the total number of fishers in the area, along with a 95% CI for your estimate.
