<h3>Answer: A) 5.4%</h3>

==================================

Explanation:

We use the binomial probability formula here

P(k) = (n C k)*(p)^k*(1-p)^(n-k)

In this case, there are n = 12 trials and p = 0.5 is the probability of getting heads. The value of k = 3 means we want 3 heads.

So,

P(k) = (n C k)*(p)^k*(1-p)^(n-k)

P(3) = (12 C 3)*(0.5)^3*(1-0.5)^(12-3)

P(3) = 220*(0.5)^3*(1-0.5)^(12-3)

P(3) = 0.0537109375

P(3) = 0.054

P(3) = 5.4%

-----------------

Side note: the n C k refers to the nCr combination formula

_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}

where the exclamation marks mean factorials. You could also use Pascal's Triangle as an alternative for this portion.

Item 12 What is the shape of the cross section of the cylinder in each situation? Drag and drop the answer into the box to match
Goryan [66]

You can build a cylinder in two ways: either you draw a circle on a plane, and "raise" it perpendicularly to the plane itself, or you start with a rectangle, and rotate it around one of its sides.

For these reasons, if you cut the cylinder with a plane parallel to the base you have a circular cross section, while if you cut the cylinder with a plane perpendicular to the base you have a rectangular cross section.
