The time that a butterfly lives after emerging from its chrysalis can be modelled by a random variable , the model here taking the probability that a butterfly survives for more than days as For these problems, please ensure your answers are accurate to within 3 decimals. Part a) What is the probability that a butterfly will die within 5 days of emerging? Part b) If a large number of butterflies emerge on the same day, after how many days would you expect only 5 % to be alive? Part c) Calculate the mean lifetime of a butterfly after emerging from its chrysalis.
