ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to find the area of the shaded region.
We find the area of the smaller circle and subtract from the area of the larger circle.
Area of smaller circle is

Area of larger circle is

The area of the shaded region is:

I think it's 12x.
I'm not a 100% sure though, but I hope this helps. =^D
Answer:
a)
And we can find this probability with the complement rule:
b) 
And if we use the z score we got:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the lengths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and
Part a
We are interested on this probability
And we can use the z score formula given by:
And using this formula we got:
And we can find this probability with the complement rule:
Part b
For this case we select a sample of n =44 and the new z score formula is given by:

And if we find the z score we got:

And if we use the z score we got:
Answer:
1. a) Square
2. c) Rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If you cut this rectangular prism in way to be PERPENDICULAR to the base, that means you're cutting it straight down, from the top to the bottom, in a vertical line. The cross-section obtained will be just like an end of the prism, which in this case is a square. Because it's a regular rectangular prism, no matter where you cut it, as long as it's vertical, perpendicular to the base, you'll get a square due to this particular form. Technically, the answer could also be a rectangle, since a square is a rectangle.
2. you cut this rectangular prism in way to be PARALLEL to the base, that means you're cutting it straight, from the front to the back, in an horizontal line. The cross-section obtained will be just like an top of the prism, which in this case is a rectangle. Because it's a regular rectangular prism, no matter where you cut it, as long as it's an horizontal line, parallel to the base, you'll get a rectangle due to this particular form.
