We need to define our outcomes and events.

 

Finding the probability<span> of each event occurring separately, and then multiplying the probabilities is the step to <span>finding  the probability</span> of two independent events that occur in sequence.

</span>

<span>
To solve this problem, we take note of this:</span>

 

The roll of the two dice are denoted by the pair

(I, j) ∈ S={ (1, 1),(1, 2),..., (6,6) }

Each pair is an outcome. There are 36 pairs and each has probability 1/36. The event “doubles” is { (1, 1),(2, 2)(6, 6) } has probability p= 6/36 = 1/6. If we define ”doubles” as a successful roll, the number of rolls N until we observe doubles is a geometric (p) random variable and has expected value E[N] = 1/p = 6.

What is the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.9 cm and a base with the circumference of 2.9 cm rounded to
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Volume = 3.30 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

height = 14.9 cm

circumference = 2.9 cm

Process

1.- Calculate the radius

   circumference = 2πr

-Substitution

   2.9 = 2πr

-Solve for r

   r = 2.9/2π

   r = 1.45/π cm

2) Calculate the volume of the cone

   Volume = 1/3πr²h

-Substitution

   Volume = 1/3π(1.45/π)²(14.9)

-Simplify

   Volume = (1.04)(0.213)(14.9)

   Volume = 3.30 cm³
