An AP news service story, printed in the Gainesville Sun on May 20, 1979, states the following with regard to debris from Skylab striking someone on the ground: "The odds are 1 in 150 that a piece of Skylab will hit someone. But 4 billion people ... live in the zone in which pieces could fall. So any one person’s chances of being struck are one in 150 times 4 billion—or one in 600 billion." Do you see any inaccuracies in this reasoning?

Step-by-step explanation:

From the news story, we are told that:

The odds are 1 in 150 that a piece of Skylab will hit someone.

However, 4 billion people live in the zone in which pieces could fall.

Therefore, any one person’s chances of being struck are:

Therefore, the odds are one in approximately 27 million.

The inaccuracy presented in this reasoning was that the odds are one in 600 billion.

1 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

hi williamspatsy,

to find the answer we need to divide. so, 22.2(22 1/5)/8.5(8 1/2) = 2.6176470588 but, the question is asking how many full batches can she make so, that would be only 2.

hope this !
