The ratio of trees to shrubs is 5:2. How many shrubs are there for 30 trees?

30:12

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning ratio is 5:2, trees to shrubs.

For every five trees, there are two shrubs.

So here is how we are going to solve the problem, since we are trying to figure out the amount of shrubs for 30 trees, we are going to divide 30 by 5 then once we've found out the quotient, we are going to multiply the quotient by two to get our amount of shrubs.

30 ÷ 5 = 6

6(2)=12

To conclude, for 30 trees there are 12 shrubs.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
