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 ?
"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 ."
multiply(multiply(multiply(250, subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), subtract(1, divide(1, 10)))
