The answer is B. 5.
There are five different types of cross sections of a cone possible.
5/8÷1/3=5/8×3/1
(multiply by reciprocal instead of dividing)
5/8×3/1=15/8=1.875
Recall that for

, i.e. a random variable

following a binomial distribution over

trials and with probability parameter

,

So you have




The expected value of

is simply

, while the standard deviation is

. In this case, they are

and

, respectively.
<span>3/8 of the animals are birds<span>
of the birds: 4/15 are birds of prey
If you want to know what fraction of the animals
at the zoo are birds of prey, you can calculate this using the following steps:
4/15 * 3/8 <span>= 12 / (15*8) = </span>1 / (5*2) <span>= </span>1 / 10 = 0.1
<span>Result: In the town zoo, </span>1/10 of animals are birds of prey<span>.</span></span></span>
