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 200 newborn members of the population, approximately how many would be expected to survive the first 3 months of life?
Choose the correct answer:
A) 140  B) 146  C) 152  D) 162  E) 170
Number of newborns that can die in first month = 1/10 * 200=

<output>20</output>
20   Survived= 180   Number of newborns that can die in second month = 1/10 * 180= 
<gadget id="calculator">1/10 * 180</gadget>
<output>18</output>
18   Survived= 162   Number of newborns that can die in third month = 1/10 * 162 = 16   Survived = 146   Answer:146
