Student: 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 700 newborn members of the population, approximately how many would be expected to survive the first 3 months of life?
Options:
(A) 511
(B) 546
(C) 552
(D) 562
(E) 570.
Another student: Let's say, hmmm...

Number of newborns that can die in first month = 1/10 * 700 = 70
Survived = 630
Number of newborns that can die in second month = 1/10 * 630 = 63
Survived = 567
Number of newborns that can die in third month = 1/10 * 567 = 56
Survived = 511 Final answer: (A).
