Answer: 0.1630

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quarters = 10

Number of dimes = 6

Number of nickels = 8

Total number = 10+6+8 = 24

Probability of choosing the first quarter will be: = Number of quarters/Total number of money

= 10/24 = 5/12

Since a quarter has been selected, the total number will reduce to 23 the next time a quarter is choosing and the number of quarters will now be 9. Therefore, the probability of choosing the second quarter will be: = 9/23

Therefore, the probability that two quarters are chosen random from the jar will be:

= 5/12 × 9/23

= 45/276

= 0.1630

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer B) The volumes are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a disk of revolution at any x about the x- axis is πy² where y=2x. If we integrate this area on the given range of values of x from x=0 to x=1 , we will get the volume of revolution about the x-axis, which here equals,

\int\limits^1_0 {(pi)y^{2} } \, dx

which when evaluated gives 4pi/3.

Now we have to calculate the volume of revolution about the y-axis. For that we have to first see by drawing the diagram that the area of the CD like disk centered about the y-axis for any y, as we rotate the triangular area given in the question would be pi - pi*x². if we integrate this area over the range of value of y that is from y=0 to y=2 , we will obtain the volume of revolution about the y-axis, which is given by,

\int\limits^2_0 {pi - pix^{2} } \, dy = \int\limits^2_0 {1 - y^{2}/4 } \, dy

If we just evaluate the integral as usual we will get 4pi/3 again(In the second step i have just replaced x with y/2 as given by the equation of the line), which is the same answer we got for the volume of revolution about the x-axis. Which means that the answer B) is correct.
