Species 1 = 24.1%
Species 2 = 30.5%
Species 3 = 45.5%
Note: Numbers do not add to exactly 100% due to rounding.
First, determine the relative population of tagged birds.
Species 1 is 45% of the population, of which 10% have been tagged
tagged 1 = 0.45 * 0.10 = 0.045
Species 2 is 38% of the population, of which 15% have been tagged
tagged 2 = 0.38 * 0.15 = 0.057
Species 3 is 17% of the population, of which 50% have been tagged
tagged 3 = 0.17 * 0.50 = 0.085
Now add up the percentages of all the tagged birds.
0.045 + 0.057 + 0.085 = 0.187
Now divide the percentage of each species tagged by the total population tagged.
Species 1 = 0.045 / 0.187 = 0.241 = 24.1%
Species 2 = 0.057 / 0.187 = 0.305 = 30.5%
Species 3 = 0.085 / 0.187 = 0.455 = 45.5%
