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 600 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 * 600 = 60 survived = 540 number of newborns that can die in second month = 1 / 10 * 540 = 54 survived = 486 number of newborns that can die in third month = 1 / 10 * 486 = 48 survived = 438 answer : a"
multiply(multiply(multiply(600, subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), subtract(1, divide(1, 10))), subtract(1, divide(1, 10)))
