Let’s say you work for the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center rehabilitating owls. We’ll pretend that 65% of the owls the center gets are hit by a car and the other 35% are poisoned by eating poisoned mice and rats. If the owl was hit by a car the probability it can be released back into the wild is 80% while if it was poisoned, the probability of release is only 30%. Calculate the overall probability that the owl will be released back into the wild. Show your work and your final answer for full credit.
