Before 1918, approximately 60% of the wolves in a region were male, and 40% were female. However, cattled rachers in the area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves.

Question

Before 1918, approximately 60% of the wolves in a region were male, and 40% were female. However, cattled rachers in the area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 present, approximately 65% of the wolves in the region are male, and 35% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than female to return to the area where the population have been greatly reduced. Round three decimals: 

a) Before 1918, in a ramdon sample 11 wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 8 or more were males?

- what is the probability 8 or more were females? 

- what is the probability fewer than 5 were females? 

d) From the period 1918 to present in a ramdon sample 11wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 8 or more were males?

-what is the probability 8 or more were females?

-what is the probability fewer than 5 were females?
