5 0

1.75-0.8= 0.95m
0.95/2. to get equal halves would be 0.475m just under half a meter

What is the volume of the cylinder

kogti [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the figure = Volume of cylinder + Volume of cone

Note: A cone having the same radius and height as cylinder have a volume (1/3) of cylinder

Volume of cone=(1/3)*96=32

Volume of the figure = 32+96=128

Your neighbor has a bag with 5 oranges and 7 apples in it. You will be receiving two pieces of fruit from your neighbor. What is

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

31.82% probability that you will receive 2 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruits are removed from the bag, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

5 + 7 = 12 total fruits, which means that $N = 12$

7 apples, which means that $k = 7$

You receive 2 fruits, which means that $n = 2$

What is the probability, in percent, that you will receive 2 apples, assuming she removes them from the bag in random order?

This is, as a proportion, P(X = 2). So

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 2) = h(2,12,2,7) = \frac{C_{7,2}*C_{5,0}}{C_{12,2}} = 0.3182$

0.3182*100% = 31.82%

31.82% probability that you will receive 2 apples.
