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

Pietro made 18 baskets during a basketball game.The number of 3 pointers are 3 more than half of the 2 point shots.how many type
blagie [28]

Total points is 23

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

y = \frac{x}{2} + 3                  -1

The equation can be formed as:

\frac{x}{2} + 3 + x = 18

On solving this equation further we get:

\frac{x+6+2x}{2} = 18\\\\9x = 36\\\\x = 4

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

y = \frac{x}{2}+3\\ \\y = \frac{4}{2} + 3\\\\y = 5

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

                                        = 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

                                        = 15

Total points = 8 + 15

                  = 23

Therefore, total points is 23
