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?
Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 438
B) 446
C) 452
D) 462
E) 470
Number of newborns that can die in first month = 1/10 *600=
