If the probability that a bird will lay an egg is 75%, the probability that the egg will hatch is 50%, and the probability that the chick will be eaten by a snake before it fledges is 20%, what is the probability that a parent will have progeny that survive to adulthood?
(a) 30%
(b) 14.5%
(c) 7.5%
(d) 2%

(A) 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a bird will lay an egg =0.75

The probability that the egg will hatch  =0.50

Now, the probability that the egg will lay an egg and hatch =

Also,The probability that the chick will be eaten by a snake before it fledges =0.20

Then, the probability that the chick will not  be eaten by a snake before it fledges : 1-0.20=0.80

Now, the probability that a parent will have progeny that survive to adulthood will be :-

Hence, the probability that a parent will have progeny that survive to adulthood =  30%

statement #3: proof- ang is congruent to ang ecd : angles are congruent.  

step-by-step explanation:

1: the missing angles in statement #3  

a.) acb  

reason- the reason why the answer is acb is because angle ecd and angle acb are both the same size *that's what the word congruent means this is really simple.  

2: the missing word in reason #3  

c.) vertical  

reason- the reason why the answer is vertical is because the angles in that diagram on figure 2 is slanted, which is vertical, and the e and a both lay on vertical lines. along with the other's, but e and a are the 2 main points you want to focus on. and c is kind of like your starting point, because c is for both angles, not just one.  

i hope that was and understanding.
