Answer:

Probability = 51\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius of inner circle = 5ft

Radius of outer circle = 7ft

Required

Determine the probability that the thumbtack will be placed on the inner circle

We start by calculating the area of both circles;

Inner Circle

Area = \pi r^2

Area = 3.14 * 5^2

Area = 3.14 * 25

Area = 78.5

Outer Circle

Area = \pi R^2

Area = 3.14 * 7^2

Area = 3.14 * 49

Area = 153.86

At this point, the probability can be calculated;

The probability = Area of Inner Circle / Area of Outer Circle

Probability = \frac{78.5}{153.86}

Probability = 0.51020408163

Convert to percentage

Probability = 0.51020408163 * 100\%

Probability = 51.020408163\%

Approximate

Probability = 51\%

ANSWER

1 bell shape

2 to find probability when sampling

EXPLANATION

1 In a normal distribution, the mode,mean and median are equal.

As a result, the distribution is neither skewed to the right or left.

The shape of the normal distribution looks like a bell.

That is why it is also called the bell curve.

2. The area under the normal curve is 1.

The line of symmetry of the bell shaped distribution divides it into two halves with area 0.5 each.

The normal curve is therefore used to find the probabilities of a sample distributions.

Quadrilateral EFGH was dilated by a factor of 3. What is FG F'G'
Nikolay [14]
The coordinates would be multiplied by 3, as the scale factor is 3, and it is a dilation, so we know the size increases.
