An advertiser drops 10,000 leaflets on a city which has 2000 blocks. Assume that each leaflet has an equal chance of landing on

each block. What is the probability that a particular block will receive no leaflets

Answer:

0.00673

Step-by-step explanation:

As each of the 10000 leaflets has equal chance on landing into 1 of the 2000 blocks, this means each leaflet has a probability of 1/2000 to land on the 1st block, 1/2000 to land on the 2nd lock, 1/2000 to land on the 3rd block, and so on.

The probability that a particular block will receive no leaflet is chance of each leaflets to land on the other 1999 blocks, which has a chance of 1999/2000. For all 10000 leaflets to happen like this independently, then the total probability is

\left(\frac{1999}{2000}\right)^{10000} = 0.00673

(7m-35=5+2m) how do I solve for m???
Elena L [17]
Isolate m using inverse operations, get m by itself. (addition and subtraction, mult. and div.)

7m-35=5+2m\ (subtract\ 2m) \\ 5m-35=5\ (add\ 35) \\ 5m = 40\ (divide\ by\ 40) \\ \boxed{m=8}

The unchanging value of the ratio between two proportional quantities?
Naddika [18.5K]

The right answer is the constant of proportionality


If two variables are related and this relationship is that there is a<em> constant ratio</em> between them, then we are talking about proportionality. There are two types of proportionality.


1) Direct Proportionality:


In a mathematical language this is given by this equation:


y=kx


where k is in fact this constant of proportionality. If x <em>increases,</em> y also <em>increases</em> at the same rate. On the other hand,  If x<em> decreases, </em>y also <em>decreases</em> at the same rate.


2) Inverse Proportionality:


In a mathematical language this is given by this equation:


y=\frac{k}{x}


where k is also called the constant of proportionality. If x <em>increases,</em> y <em>decreases</em> at the same rate. On the other hand,  If x <em>decreases,</em> y <em>increases</em> at the same rate.
