Which of the following statements about an ellipse is NOT true?

Mathematics
1 answer:
jeyben [28]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: (b) The focus of an ellipse is always located precisely at the center of the ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse is defined as <em>"a closed curve with two axes of symmetry (major axis and minor axis) that results in cutting the surface of a cone by an oblique plane to the axis of symmetry with an angle greater than that of the generatrix with respect to the axis of revolution"</em>. That is why the ellipse is considered a conic figure.

To understand it better: an ellipse has two points on its major axis that are equidistant from the center , which are called foci,  being this distance constant. In addition, the eccentricity allows to know how far the foci are from the center of the ellipse.

Therefore, the statement that indicates an ellipse has only one focus located  precisely at the center is incorrect.

Eighty-five mall customers were randomly surveyed across the state to determine if the live entertainment provided had increased
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the probability can be found through the binomial probability formula.

Binomial probability is used when there are two possible outcomes. The success (p) and failure (q) must be clear. Here, in the question if we need to find out the probability if live entertainment had increased the amount of money spent, then the percentage increase will be considered as success.

While if we want the probability that there is no change in the percentage of money spent, then it will be considered as failure.

Heights of certain plants at a nursery are normally distributed with a mean of 52.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 7.2
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct option is;

69 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score, or standard score is a measure of how far a data is from the mean

The z-score, is given by the relation;

z = \dfrac{x- \mu}{\sigma}

Z = Standard score

x = Value observed

μ = The mean height of the plants = 52.5 cm

σ = Standard deviation = 7.2 cm

Given that the z-score = 2.25, we have;

2.25 = \dfrac{x- 52.5}{7.2}

Therefore, x = 7.2 × 2.25 + 52.5 = 68.7 cm ≈ 69 cm

Therefore, the minimum required height for this type of plant to be displayed in the main lobby is 69 cm.
