Expert Solution
Step 1

In this case, each of the 1-year-old chipmunks has the only option of "live" (defined as success) or "not live" (defined as failure) to be 2 years old. For a considered no of 1-year-old chipmunks (i.e., no. of trials, n<), with a specified prob. of live to be 2 years old (i.e., the success prob. p remains constant), the random variable "X=no. of 1 year old chipmunks live to be 2 years old" is claimed to follow Binomial distribution. So for X~Bn,p, the pmf is given as:

PX=x=nCxpx1-pn-x; x=0,1,2...,n0; Otherwise

The prob. that a one 1 year old chipmunk live to be 2 years old is 0.95698, i.e., p=0.95698.
