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

lucas and erick are factoring the polynomial 12x3 – 6x2 8x – 4. lucas groups the polynomial (12x3 8x) (–6x2 – 4) to factor. eric
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Both the students were correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The polynomial is - 12 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 8 x - 4

To find : Who correctly grouped the terms to factor.

Lucas group the polynomial - ( 12 x^3 + 8 x ) + ( - 6 x^2 - 4 )

Now, we solve the Lucas polynomial

(12x^3+8x) + (-6x^2-4)= 4x(3x^2+2 )-2(3x^2+2)

(12x^3+8x) + (-6x^2-4)= (3x^2+2 )(4x-2)

(12x^3+8x) + (-6x^2-4)= 2(3x^2+2)(2x-1)

Erick group the polynomial - (12x^3-6x^2) + (8x- 4)

Now, we solve the Erick polynomial

(12x^3-6x^2) + (8x- 4)=6x^2(2x-1)+4(2x-1)

(12x^3-6x^2) + (8x- 4)=(6x^2+4)(2x-1)

(12x^3-6x^2) + (8x- 4)=2(3x^2+2)(2x-1)

The factors of Lucas and Erick are same.

Each grouping leads to the same result. 

Therefore, Both students are correct.

Amelia and Elliott are collecting empty soda cans for recycling. Amelia has 13 less than 5 times the cans that Elliott has. Toge
xeze [42]

Answer:

D.) Elliott has 212 cans, Amelia has 45 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

257 = x + (5x - 12)

257 = 6x - 13

+13           +13

270 = 6x

/6        /6

45 = x     (the amount of Amelia's cans)


257 - 45 = 212  (the amount of Elliott's cans)
