Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Approach
To solve this problem, find the area of the larger circle, and the area of the smaller circle. Then subtract the area of the smaller circle from the larger circle to find the area of the shaded region.
2.Find the area of the larger circle
The formula to find the area of a circle is the following,
Where (r) is the radius, the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference, the outer edge of the circle. () represents the numerical constant (3.1415...). One is given that the radius of (8), substitute this into the formula and solve for the area,
3.Find the area of the smaller circle
To find the area of the smaller circle, one must use a very similar technique. One is given the diameter, the distance from one end to the opposite end of a circle. Divide this by two to find the radius of the circle.
8 ÷2 = 4
Radius = 4
Substitute into the formula,
4.Find the area of the shaded region
Subtract the area of the smaller circle from the area of the larger circle.
Answer:
a) 0.35
b) 420 drawing pins
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The question relates to the relative frequency of the pins pointing up which is found by the formula as follows;
The total number of pins land 'point up' = 3 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5
The total number of pins land 'point up' = 42 successful trials
Total number of trials = 12 × 10 = 120 trials
Due to the large number of trials, the relative frequency ≈ Probability and the probability that a single pin will land point up = 7/20 = 0.35
b) Given that the number of trials now = 12 × 100 = 1200, we have;
The expected number of drawing pins in total that would land point up = 0.35×1200 = 420 pins.
