A biologist wanted to estimate the number of endangered Blanding turtles living in a marsh. The biologist caught, tagged, and released a sample of six Blanding turtles in the marsh. After one month, the biologist captured eight Blanding turtles in the same area and found that three of them had tags, showing they were in the original sample. Based on this information, estimate the population of Blanding turtles in the marsh. Explain whether another sampling procedure would have been better for the biologist to use.
