SSC Selection Post 2023 Graduation Level Question Paper (30 Jun, 2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Population Size

The correct answer is Population Size.

Marked individuals mix randomly back into the population. All individuals are equally likely to be captured. If these assumptions are not met, the Lincoln index estimate of population size may be inaccurate. Ecologists often use more complex models or variations of the mark-recapture method to account for violations of these assumptions.
