<span>Let </span>N<span><span>= 10^</span><span>44 </span><span>and </span>n</span><span><span>= 10^</span>22</span>.

 

Each molecule that we breathed in has probability (N-n)<span><span>/N </span><span>of not being from Caesar’s last breath. Also, the molecules breathed in are independent if it is assumed that sampling with replacement is performed. So the probability of at least one molecule being shared with Caesar’s last breath is:</span></span>

<span> 1</span><span><span>-[</span>(</span>N-n<span><span>)^</span><span>n/</span><span>N^</span><span>n] </span>= </span>

= 1-[(10^44-10^22)^(10^22) / 10^44^(10^22)]

Simplifying will result in:

= 1- (1/e)

Find four consecutive even integers whose sum is 84. Find the integers.
mina [271]
Suppose the integers are n , n+2 , n+4 and n+6.
84=n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)=4n+12.
Subtract 12 from both ends to get.
72=4n.
Divide both ends by 4 to get.
n=18.
So the integers are: 18 , 20 , 22 , 24.
