In a certain animal population, for each of the first 3 months of life, the probability that an animal will die during that month is 1/10. For a group of 250 newborn members of the population, approximately how many would be expected to survive the first 3 months of life?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 140	B) 146	C) 152	D) 162	E) 183

Rationale: "the probability of survival for each of the first 3 months of life is 1 - 1 / 10 = 9 / 10 , so of 250 newborn 250 * 9 / 10 * 9 / 10 * 9 / 10 = ~ 183 is expected to survive . answer : e ."
Answer: E
