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 700 newborn members of the population , approximately how many would be expected to survive the first 3 months of life ?
"number of newborns that can die in first month = 1 / 10 * 700 = 70 survived = 630 number of newborns that can die in second month = 1 / 10 * 630 = 63 survived = 567 number of newborns that can die in third month = 1 / 10 * 567 = 56 survived = 511 answer : a"
multiply(multiply(multiply(700, subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), subtract(1, divide(1, 10)))
