Answer:

In mathematics, a conic section is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse; the circle is a special case of the ellipse, though historically it was sometimes called a fourth type.

Conic sections are formed on a plane when that plane slices through the edge of one or both of a pair of right circular cones stacked tip to tip.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,
