Evolution - Changing for Survival

In our class, Population, we learned about evolution. As our last project for this term, we picked a living organism to theorize on. I chose the cinereous vulture and questioned what would happen if their environment changes. Down below is a slideshow discussing what opportunities cinereous vultures have in an environmental change, and the problems they will face.

PERMUTATION VS. COMBINATION

9P3 = 9! = 9 x 8 x 7 = 504
          6!

9P3 = 504

9C3 =     9!    = 9 x 8 x 7 = 3 x 4 x 7 = 84

9C3 = 84

Nine cinereous vultures face a challenge and only three of the nine have a chance of survining. We need to determine what formula would make more sense for all variations. In this case, finding a combonation would make more sense, because the order of the survivors is not important.

This tells us that the average difference between the individual wingspans.
