Question:

A hydra is a small fresh-water animal, and studies have shown that its probability of dying does not increase with the passage of time. The lack of influence of age on mortality rates for this species indicates that an exponential distribution is an appropriate model for the mortality of hydra. A biologist studies a population of 500 hydra and observes that 200 of them die within the first 2 years. How many of the hydra would you expect to die within the first six months?
