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

Elan Coil [88]
Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to x^{2}.
A = x^{2} ---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the x^{2} = hyp^2 - opposite^2---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
x^{2} = 10^{2} - 8^{2} substitute this value in equation (1) then
A = x^{2} = 10^{2} -8^{2}
where A is the area of the square whose side is x

If a cube has an edge of 2 feet. The edge is increasing at the rate of 6 feet per minute. How would i express the volume of the
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

v(m) = 8 + 48m+ 180m² +216m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first of all represent the edge of the the cube as a function of minutes.

Initially the egde= 2feet

As times elapsed , it increases at the rate of 6 feet per min, that is, for every minute ,there is a 6 feet increase.

Let the the egde be x

X = 2 + 6(m)

Where m represent the minutes elapsed.

So we Al know that the volume of an edge = edge³

but egde = x

V(m) = x³

but x= 2+6(m)

V(m) = (2+6m)³

v(m) = 8 + 48m+ 180m² +216m³

Twenty-one boys and eight girls go on a camping trip. In how many ways can a group of six be selected to gather firewood, given
lorasvet [3.4K]
(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964
