One of one million people.

Answer:

Prob =10^{-6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that One million people have equal chances of being called by telephone from a broadcasting show

This implies that each person has an equal chance of being called.

We know that probability is the ratio of favourable events by total events and  also probability always lies between 0 and 1.

Hence here we have

Prob for one particular person receiving the call = \frac{1}{1,000,000} =10^{-6}

We write in scientific notation since probability is very small

So answer is

10^{-6}

Answer:

5x + 3y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the line 5x + 3y = 6 and are to find the equation of a new line that is parallel to this one and goes through (3, -1).

Parallel lines have the same slope.  The slope of the given line is determined by the coefficients 5 and 3 visible above.  Therefore, the form of the equation of the new line is 5x + 3y = C, where we must determine the value of C.

Substitute 3 for x and -1 for y in 5x + 3y = C, obtaining:  5(3) + 3(-1) = C.  Then 15 - 3 = 12 is the constant value, and the equation of the 'new line' is

5x + 3y = 12

A population of 6000 animals decrease at an annual rate of 0.7%. What is the expected population in 12 years? Round your answer
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The population is expected to be 5515 animals in 12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by using a compounded interest formula with a negative interest rate, since the number of animals are decreasing. We have:

final population = initial population * (1 - r)^(t)

Where r is rate of decline and t is the time elapsed. Applying the data from the question we have:

final population = 6000*(1 - 0.007)^(12)

final population = 6000*(0.993)^12 = 5514.9582 animals

The population is expected to be 5515 animals in 12 years.

How do you Simplify :(2p^-3)^5
iragen [17]

Answer:

The final simplification is (32p^-15).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2p^-3)^5 we have to simplify.

Property to be used:(Power rule)

Power rule states that: (a^x)^y=a^x^y ...the exponents were multiplied.

Using power rule.

We have,

⇒(2p^-3)^5          

⇒(2^5)(p^-3^*5)     ...taking exponents individually.

⇒32(p^-^1^5)         ...2^5=2*2*2*2*2=32

⇒32p^-^1^5

So our final values are 32p^-15

Georgina ran 3/8 mile in 3 minutes. How many miles does she run per minute?
Pachacha [2.7K]
In the given question we can see that the information,Georgina ran a distance of 3/8 mile in 3 minutes is already provided.
So
In 3 minutes Georgina can run a distance of = 3/8 miles
Then In 1 minute Georgina can run a distance of = 3/(8 * 3) miles
                                                                               = 3/24 miles
                                                                               = 1/8 miles.
So it can be said now that in 1 minute the distance that Georgina can cover is 1/8 miles. If required it can be converted to decimal value as well.
