Three fifths of a number is -24 what is the number

-40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

3/5×X = -24

cross multiply

3x = -24×5

3x= - 120

divide by 3

3x/3 = -120/3

x = -40

the number is -40

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! )

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84
