Answer:
Probability, eh?
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out how likely an event is, we just put the number of the blue bands over the total number of 'other' bands.
Pretty easy!
(or do you want it in percent?)
%
(I remember there was a weird notation for these things, but I forgot it)
It is unlikely he will choose a blue band, as it is much more likely he will choose a 'other' band.
Remember, the smallest number for an event will make it the most unlikeliest to happen out of all the others.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>Richter scale</em>, the standard measure of earthquake intensity, is a <em>logarithmic scale</em>, specifically logarithmic <em>base 10</em>. This means that every time you go up 1 on the Richter scale, you get an earthquake that's 10 times as powerful (a 2.0 is 10x stronger than a 1.0, a 3.0 is 10x stronger than a 2.0, etc.).
How do we compare two earthquake's intensities then? As a measure of raw intensity, let's call a "standard earthquake" S. What's the magnitude of this earthquake? The magnitude is whatever <em>power of 10</em> S corresponds to; to write this relationship as an equation, we can say , which we can rewrite in logarithmic form as
.
We're looking for the magnitude M of an earthquake 100 times larger than S, so reflect this, we can simply replace S with 100S, giving us the equation
.
To check to see if this equation is right, let's say we have an earthquake measuring a 3.0 on the Richter scale, so . Since taking 100 times some intensity is the same as taking 10 times that intensity twice, we'd expect that more intense earthquake to be a 5.0. We can expand the equation
using the product rule for logarithms to get the equation
And using the fact that and our assumption that
, we see that
as we wanted.
