Answer:

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the paper water cup

The volume of the cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=6\ cm

h=12\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^{2}(12)

V=144\pi\ cm^{3}

step 2

If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone

so

The scale factor is equal to 1/2

therefore

The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

V=(1/2)^{3}(144\pi)=(1/8)144\pi\ cm^{3}

therefore

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

\frac{1}{8}

Answer:

Exactly _\frac{1}{8}__ of the cup is filled with water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Where

r is de radius

h is the height

So the volume of the cone is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^2*12

V=144\pi\ cm^3

The angle z that is opposite the radius of the cone is:

tan(z)=\frac{r}{h}=\frac{6}{12}\\\\z =tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{12})\\\\z=26.565\°

The amount of water that fills half the cone occupies the volume of a cone with radius R, height \frac{h}{2} and angle z = 26.565°

Therefore we have that:

\frac{h}{2}=6\ cm

and

tan(z)=\frac{r}{h}=\frac{R}{6}

\frac{r}{h}=\frac{R}{6}

\frac{6}{12}=\frac{R}{6}

\frac{R}{6}=0.5

R=3

Then portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3)^2(6)

V=18\pi\ cm^3

v =\frac{18\pi\ cm^3}{144\pi\ cm^3}\\\\\V =\frac{1}{8}

There are 10 cards. Each card has one number between 1 and 10, so that every number from 1 to 10 appears once.
pychu [463]

Answer:

When a card is chosen at random with replacement five times, X is the number of times a prime number is chosen.          Here the card is chosen with replacement.  This implies probability for choosing a prime number remains the same as the previously drawn card is replaced.

The sample space= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Prime numbers = {2,3,5,7}

Prob for drawing prime number = 4/10 = 0.4

is the same when replacement is done.

Also there are two outcomes either prime or non prime.  Hence in this case, X the no of times a prime number is chosen, is binomial with p =0.4 and q = 0.6 and n=5


When a card is chosen at random without replacement three times, X is the number of times an even number is chosen.

Prob for an even number = 0.5

But after one card drawn say odd number next card has prob for even number as 5/9 hence each draw is not independent of the other.  Hence not binomial.

When a card is chosen at random with replacement six times, X is the number of times a 3 is chosen.

Here since every time replacement is done, probability of drawing a 3 remains constant = 1/10 = 0.3

i.e. each draw is independent of the other and there are only two outcomes , 3 or non 3. Hence here X is binomial.

When a card is chosen at random with replacement multiple times, X is the number of times a card is chosen until a 5 is chosen

Here X is the number of times a card is chosen with replacement till 5 is chosen.  This is not binomial.  Here probability for drawing nth time correct 5 is  P(non 5 in the first n-1 draws)*P(5 in nth draw) = 0.1^(n-1) (0.9)

Because nCr is not appearing i.e. 5 cannot appear in any order but only in the last draw, this is not binomial.

6 out of 24 employees at the water slides are temporary employees what percentage of the employees at the water slide are tempor
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

6 is what percent of 24?

Set up the problem:

6            x

----   =   -----

24        100

600 / 24  =   25%

Check your answer:

25%   +   25%   +    25%    +  25%      =  100%

 6       +     6      +      6       +     6        =   24
