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

A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true? A. ABCD is
Dima020 [189]

Hey There!!

The answer to this is: A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true?" Line BC is parallel to line AD because their slopes is equal i.e. (0 - 0) / (7 - 2) = (5 - 5) / (8 - 3) which gives 0 / 5 = 0 / 5 giving that 0 = 0. We check whether line AB is parallel to line CD. Slope of line AB is given by (0 - 5) / (2 - 3) = -5 / -1 = 5. Slope of line CD is given by (5 - 0) / (8 - 7) = 5 / 1 = 5 We have been able to prove that the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel which means that the quadrilateral is not a trapezoid. Next we check whether the length of the sides are equal. Length of line AB is given by sqrt[(0 - 5)^2 + (2 - 3)^2] = sqrt[(-5)^2 + (-1)^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line BC is given by sqrt[(0 - 0)^2 + (7 - 2)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Length of line CD is given by sqrt[(5 - 0)^2 + (8 - 7)^2] = sqrt[5^2 + 1^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line DA is given by sqrt[(5 - 5)^2 + (8 - 3)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Thus, the length of the sides of the quadrilateral are not equal but opposite sides are equal which means that the quadrilateral is not a rhombus. Finally, we check whether adjacent lines are perpendicular. Recall the for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1. Slope of line AB = 5 while slope of line BC = 0. The product of their slopes = 5 x 0 = 0 which is not -1, thus the adjacent sides of the quadrilateral are not perpendicular which means that the quadrilateral is not a rectangle. Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram with non-perpendicular adjacent sides. Thus, For (option A).
