Using proportions, it is found that Mrs. Wood should expect 1,898 books out of the 36,500 to have major damage.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

For this problem, the proportion of books with major damage is:

43/(716 + 68 + 43) = 0.051995.

Hence, out of 36,500 books, the expected amount of books with major damage is:

0.051995 x 36,500 = 1898.

how many 5-digit even numbers can be formed with the digits 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 if repetition is allowed?​
Setler79 [48]

Given:

The given digits are 1,2,3,4,5, and 6.

To find:

The number of 5-digit even numbers that can be formed by using the given digits (if repetition is allowed).

Solution:

To form an even number, we need multiples of 2 at ones place.

In the given digits 2,4,6 are even number. So, the possible ways for the ones place is 3.

We have six given digits and repetition is allowed. So, the number of possible ways for each of the remaining four places is 6.

Total number of ways to form a 5 digit even number is:

Total=6\times 6\times 6\times 6\times 3

Total=3888

Therefore, total 3888 five-digit even numbers can be formed by using the given digits if repetition is allowed.
