A female sea turtle buries 200 eggs in the sand. After the baby turtles hatch they hurry to make it to the relative safety of the ocean. Of the 176 babies that hatched, 124 were eaten by birds, 37 were eaten by other predators, and 3 ran the wrong direction. Suppose that just after the eggs were laid that you marked one with an X. What is the probability that your egg hatched and the baby turtle made it to the ocean?
