P(song playing once) = 1/5000
P(song playing 5000 times) = P(song playing once)5000 = (1/5000)5000
[ P(something) means the probability of that something happening. Since each song is equally likely, the probability is 1 over the number of songs. The probability of the song playing multiple times is that same probability multiplied by itself however many times it plays. So, for 5000 times, it's that probability to the 5000th power.
As for the size of the answer, it's incredibly tiny. P(once) = 0.0002 or (2) / (10000). So, every time you multiply, you usually add on four zeros. However, sometimes the power of two in the numerator will increase the number enough to decrease the number of zeros by one. So, best guess, (locked my computer up trying to compute it, haha), somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 zeros, probably closer to the latter. ]
Many thanks for responding. Any chance of expanding on that in layman's terms. Also how huge a number is your conclusion i.e. how many zeroes in it.
Hopefully Yours

5000 songs
0.5 times 5000 = 2,500
5000
You would just plug your iPod into your computer and it should copy the 5000 songs onto your iPod. TEEHEE (^-^)
it depends on how long the songs and the videos are
It is: 5000/625 = 8 times
there is a lot of songs by powerman 5000 and i think a is for apathy is kind of good but not the best
5 times 5 25
8.35*5000 = 41,750
It's changed now, you can't win 5000 wooz. but if you do get it, its totally random :)
5,000 times 12 is 60,000.
come on, really? 5 times 1000 is 5000
