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 400 newborn members of the population, approximately how many would be expected to survive the first 3 months of life?
Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 240 B) 246 C) 252 D) 292 E) 298
Number of newborns that can die in first month = 1/10 * 400=

40   Survived= 360   Number of newborns that can die in second month = 1/10 * 360= 
<gadget id="calculator">1/10 * 360</gadget>
<output>36</output>
36   Survived= 324   Number of newborns that can die in third month = 1/10 * 324 = 32   Survived = 292   Answer:292
