Milky Way Galaxy right now.? Part A: On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? Assume there are 500 billion stars in the galaxy. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Part B: How does your answer change if there are only 120 civilizations instead of 1.1×10^4? Express your answer using two significant figures.
