The probability that a 3-year old garter snake will reach 4 years old is 0.62719. (a) what is the probability that two randomly selected will reach 4 years old? What is the probability that five randomly selected 3 year old garter snakes will reach 4 years old?

To find the probability that two randomly selected 3-year old garter snakes will reach 4 years old, we multiply the individual probabilities together.
(a) Probability of one snake reaching 4 years old = 0.62719
Probability of two snakes reaching 4 years old = 0.62719 * 0.62719 = 0.39315
Therefore, the probability that two randomly selected 3-year old garter snakes will reach 4 years old is 0.39315.
To find the probability that five randomly selected 3-year old garter snakes will reach 4 years old, we again multiply the individual probabilities.
Probability of one snake reaching 4 years old = 0.62719
Probability of five snakes reaching 4 years old = 0.62719 * 0.62719 * 0.62719 * 0.62719 * 0.62719 = 0.09789
Therefore, the probability that five randomly selected 3-year old garter snakes will reach 4 years old is 0.09789.
To find the probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old garter snakes will reach 4 years old, you can multiply the individual probabilities together.
Given that the probability of a single 3-year-old garter snake reaching 4 years old is 0.62719, the probability that two randomly selected snakes will both reach 4 years old can be calculated as follows:
Probability of both snakes reaching 4 years old = Probability of the first snake reaching 4 years old * Probability of the second snake reaching 4 years old
P(Both snakes reach 4 years old) = 0.62719 * 0.62719
To find the probability that five randomly selected 3-year-old garter snakes will reach 4 years old, you can again multiply the individual probabilities together.
P(All five snakes reach 4 years old) = (Probability of a single snake reaching 4 years old) ^ 5
P(All five snakes reach 4 years old) = 0.62719^5
