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 1/4. For a group of 200 newborn members of the population, approximately how many would be expected to survive the first 3 months of life? Choose the correct option.
A) 40
B) 46
C) 52
D) 62
E) 85

Rationale: "the probability of survival for each of the first 3 months of life is 1 - 1 / 4 = 3 / 4 , so of 200 newborn 200 * 3 / 4 * 3 / 4 * 3 / 4 = ~ 85 is expected to survive . answer : e ."
