Hello everyone! Help!
1. There are 61 cattle due to give birth in 2016 and then one calf per year thereafter.
2. There is a 45% chance of those calves being female.
3. Of those calves being female, they too would be in a position to reproduce once two years old, again having a 45% chance of giving birth to a female.
4. I'm trying to calculate how many cattle there would be in 2025.
How many columns, rows, calculations do I need and what would they be!
Is there a chance this could be easy for someone out there?
I've kind of made a start (can do Q1. and Q2).
......???
Thank you
