<h3>Given</h3>
4 hundreds flats; 5 tens rods; 2 ones cubes
<h3>Find</h3>
The number of hundreds flats in each of 2 equal piles
<h3>Solution</h3>
When 4 flats are divided into two equal groups, each group will have ...
... 2 flats
_____
You can imagine doing this the way a card dealer might: first put 1 flat in each of 2 piles, then do the same for the remaining 2 flats. Each pile will end up with 2 flats.

You will have a problem if you continue with the tens rods. There is an odd number of those, so one of them will have to be exchanged for 10 ones cubes.
Answer:
(a) 
The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.
(b) 
There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.
Step-by-step explanation:
Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.
N = 209
Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.
r = 8
a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?
n = 10
The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by




Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.
b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site
The probability is given by
For the given case, we have
N = 209
n = 10
r = 8
x = 4




Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.
