Answer:Circle

Step-by-step explanation:

When a plane cuts the cone such that the plane is parallel to base of cone then the resulting cross-section obtained is circle.

When a plane cuts the cone slanted such that it does not pass through base or vertex then resulting figure obtained is Ellipse.

The following are questions from a self-quiz.According to some study, the height for Northern European adult males is normally d
lara [203]

Answer:

a) 0.064

b) 0.109

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 181 centimeter

Standard Deviation, σ = 7.3 centimeter

We are given that the distribution of height for Northern European adult males is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(person is between 160 and 170 centimeters)

P(160 \leq x \leq 170) = P(\displaystyle\frac{160 - 181}{7.3} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{170-181}{7.3}) = P(-2.8767 \leq z \leq -1.506)\\\\= P(z \leq -1.506) - P(z < -2.8767)\\= 0.066 -0.002 = 0.064 = 6.4\%

b) P(person is higher than 190 centimeter)

P(x > 190)

P( x > 190) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{190 - 181}{7.3}) = P(z > 1.2328)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1.2328)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 190) = 1 - 0.891 = 0.109 = 10.9\%

Alona [7]

{{{ THE BOLDED CHARACTERS SHOULD BE SMALL. }}}

SEQUENCE: 6, 18, 54, 162

18/6 = 3

54/18 = 3

162/54 = 3

then, r (common ratio) = 3

_________________________________________

RECURSIVE RULE: r = 3

an = a(n - 1) × r       [formula]

ANSWER: an = a(n - 1) × 3

_________________________________________

ITERIATIVE RULE: r = 3, a1 = 6

an = a1 × r^(n - 1)       [formula] [ ^(n-1) is an exponent]

ANSWER: an = 6 × 3^(n - 1)

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$425

Step-by-step explanation:

45,765 divided by 26 equals 1,760.192307692308

34,715 divided by 26 equals 1,335.192307692308

1,760.192307692308-1,335.192307692308=425

Three times each day, a quality engineer samples a component from a recently manufactured batch and tests it. Each part is class
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Three samples of components manufactured are taken per day. They are classified as:

D: "Conforming (suitable for its use)"

E: "Downgraded (unsuitable for the intended purpose but usable for another purpose)"

F: "Scrap (not usable)"

This classification includes the three events that may occur in your sample space S. The experiment consists in recording the categories of the three parts tested in a day.

a. List the 27 outcomes in the sample space.

The possible outcomes in the space sample are the combinations of the three events. To avoid using the same letters as in the following questions I've named the evets as D, E, and F

S={DDD, DED, DFD, DEF, DFE, DEE, DFF, DDE, DDF , EDE, EEE, EFE, EED, EEF, EDF, EFD, EDD, EFF , FDF, FEF, FFF, FFE, FFD, FDE, FED, FDD, FEE}

b. Let A be the event that all the parts fall into the same category. List the outcomes in A.

A: "All the parts fall into the same category"

You have three possible outcomes for this event, that the three compounds are conforming, "DDD", that the three are unconforming, "EEE", or that the three compounds are scrap, "FFF". There are only three possible outcomes for this event.

S={DDD, EEE, FFF}

c. Let B be the event that there is one part in each category. List the outcomes in B.

B: "There is a part in each category"

This means, for example, The first one is conforming "D", the second one is unconforming "E" and the third one is scrap "F", then the first one may be unconforming "E", the second one is conforming "D" and the thirds one is scrap "F", and so on, you have 6 possible outcomes for this event:

S={DEF, DFE, EDF, EFD, FDE, FED}

d. Let C be the event that at least two parts are conforming. List the outcomes in C.

C: "At least two parts are conforming"

For this event, you can have two of the compounds to be considered conforming or the three of them.

S={DDD, DED, DFD, DDE, DDF , EDD, FDD}

A total of 7 combinations fit this event.

I hope you have a SUPER day!
