30 serpentine outcrops occupied by populations of the Bay checkerspot occur very near one another. These outcrops are synchroniz

ed, experiencing very similar environmental conditions, predation risk, and disease risk in a given year and are similar in size. If each population has a 75% percent chance of extinction each year, what would you assume the odds are that any of these populations will be around in 2 years?

The statement in question proposes the idea of cumulative probability, through which we can conclude that there is a 6.25% chance of at least one of the outcrops being around in 2 years' time.

The cumulative probability property tells us that probabilities of an event occurring stack atop one another. Meaning that if we had a 10% chance to succeed at a task, <u>it would not be correct to assume the probability of succeeding 5 times in a row will be the same</u>.

The cumulative property tells us that the probability of the previous attempt affects the next one. So in the question, the odds of the crops surviving the first year are only 25%, which then gets multiplied by another 25 in order to calculate the odds <u>that it will happen twice.</u>

Given that the question is asking the odds for any of the populations to survive, we only use the probabilities of each isolated outcrop.

Do research about new hypothesis that has replaced an older explanation of something in the natural world
Gre4nikov [31]
I believe that what is meant with the phrase "older explanation" is none other that superstition. Therefore, I will give you one superstitious belief which is now explained by science.

In Southeast Asia, people used to believe that St. Elmo's fire appears in remote areas because a bloody battle occured in that place leaving disembodied souls of the dead wandering there in the night and even in sunshine!

For generations, many people believed that this is a fact and some even say that these apparitions are diabolical or demonic in nature. So often, caution is advised to people whenever a ball of fire appears out in the open. 

However, recent breakthroughs in the 21st century helped scientists to explain this mysterious phenomena. They found out that St. Elmo's fire is actually plasma, nothing special. Now, plasma is considered one of the states of matter! But mind you, it still does not explain why St. Elmo's fire seems to have a mind of its own!
