The problem is to find a mass of cylindrical solid given its dimensions and the density of the solid.
Density is defined as mass per volume of substance, therefore to find the mass, the volume of the solid must be known.
Volume of cylinder = (PI) (r^2) h = (PI) (7^2) (8) = 1231.5043 cm^3
Using the density:
Mass = (5 g/ 1 cm^3)( 1231.5043 cm^3) = 6157.5216 g
it is more likely that both of the students will be boys because there are 14 boys and 8 girls. 14 is greater than 8. So, both of the students that are chosen will be boys,
