Answer:

0.2103

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Distribution is uniform (as it is along a straight line), so we can consider the probabilities as direct areas.

It can represented by a square having an area of 36^{2}.

Area of whole stick = Length x Breadth = 36 x 36 =1296 cm^{2}

This area is equal to probability of 1.

Now when two points are randomly selected, they can be represented as :

X_{1} and X_{2}

After breaking from two points, there will be three pieces of stick

1 piece Least length = 6.5 cm

3 piece length = 6.5 x 3 = 19.5 cm

Area of pieces with at least 6.5cm length = (Length .of. whole .stick- length .of. 3. pieces)^{2} = (36 - 19.5)^{2} = (16.5 cm)^{2} = 272.25 cm^{2}

Probability of resulting pieces having at least 6.5 length = P (6.5 length) = \frac{(Area -of -pieces -with-6.5 -length)}{Area-of-stick}

P (6.5 length) = \frac{272.5}{1296} = 0.2103

which is the probability that all of the resulting pieces have length at least 6.5 cm.

Use the drop-down menus to identify the method used to collect data for each scenario.
lianna [129]

The method used to collect data for each scenario is  observational study , secondary data , simulation  .

<h3>What is Data Collection ?</h3>

The accumulation of data to perform research , experiment or any other study is called data collection

It is done by different methods.

While standing in front of the school, Jace recorded the number of students who walked, rode their bikes, took the bus, and were driven there. :

Because all feasible channels and techniques were investigated in order to get accurate data, this study is known as an observational study.

Noah conducted research to learn the data pertaining to the proportion of newborns having brown eyes. Since he didn't perform this directly, it is referred to as secondary data.

Lara repeatedly flipped two coins to see how many times two heads appeared because she knew she had a 25% chance of winning a contest. This is an example of simulation because she wanted to see if she would come up with the same outcome.

Write the equation of a hyperbola with vertices (0, -4) and (0, 4) and foci (0, -5) and (0, 5).
andre [41]
Check the picture below.  So, more or less looks like so.

notice, the center is clearly at the origin, and notice how long the "a" component is, also, bear in mind that, is opening towards the y-axis, that means the fraction with the "y" variable is the positive one.

Also notice, the "c" distance from the center to either foci, is just 5 units.

\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\&#10;vertices\ ({{ h}}, {{ k}}\pm a)\\&#10;c=\textit{distance from}\\&#10;\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\&#10;\qquad \sqrt{{{ a }}^2+{{ b }}^2}&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;h=0\\&#10;k=0\\&#10;a=4\\&#10;c=5&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{(y-{{ 0}})^2}{{{ 4}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ 0}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1\implies \cfrac{y^2}{16}-\cfrac{x^2}{b^2}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt{5^2-4^2}=b\implies \boxed{3=b}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{y^2}{16}-\cfrac{x^2}{3^2}=1\implies \boxed{\cfrac{y^2}{16}-\cfrac{x^2}{9}=1}
