Which is the correct formula for estimating populations using the mark-release-recapture method?

• $\frac{number\ in\ 1st\ sample\ \ x\ \ number\ in\ 2nd\ sample}{number\ recaptured\ \left(marked\right)\ in\ 2nd\ sample}$

• $\frac{number\ recaptured\ \left(marked\right)\ \ x\ \ number\ in\ 2nd\ sample}{number\ in\ 1st\ sample}$

• $\frac{number\ recpatured\ \left(marked\right)\ \ x\ \ number\ in\ 1st\ sample}{number\ in\ 2nd\ sample}$
