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 1/8. 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 choice.
A) 134	B) 146	C) 152	D) 162	E) 170
The probability of survival for each of the first 3 months of life is 1-1/8= 7/8, so of 200 newborn 200*7/8*7/8*7/8=~134 is expected to survive.   134nswer: 134.
