Answer:
1.3363
Step-by-step explanation:
The basic idea here is to find an expression for the direction vector between a point on L1 and a point on L2. Then, solve for the points on L1 and L2 that make that vector perpendicular to both lines L1 and L2. (The dot product of direction vectors is zero.) The distance between the points found is the shortest distance between the lines.

Let P be a point on L1. Then the parametric equation for P is ...
P = (6t, 0, -t) . . . . . . origin + t × direction vector
Let Q be a point on L2. The direction vector for L2 is given by the difference between the given points. It is (4-1, 1-(-1), 6-1) = (3, 2, 5). Then the parametric equation for Q is ...
Q = (3s+1, 2s-1, 5s+1) . . . . (1, -1, 1) + s × direction vector
The direction vector for PQ is ...
Q -P = (3s+1-6t, 2s-1, 5s+1+t)
The dot product of this and the two lines' direction vectors will be zero:
(3s+1-6t, 2s-1, 5s+1+t)·(6, 0, -1) = 0 = 13s -37t +5 . . . perpendicular to L1
(3s+1-6t, 2s-1, 5s+1+t)·(3, 2, 5) = 0 = 38s -13t +6 . . . perpendicular to L2
The solution to these equations is ...
s = -157/1237
t = 112/1237
Then (Q-P) becomes (94, -1551, 564)/1237, and its length is ...
|PQ| = √(94² +1551² +564²)/1237 ≈ 1.3363
The distance between the two lines is about 1.3363 units.

Answer:
c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A statistic or sample statistic "is any quantity computed from values in a sample", for example the sample mean, sample proportion and standard deviation
A parameter is "any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it".
Solution to the problem
For this case we know that they select a sample of 663 registered voters and the sample proportion from these registered voters is:
representing the sample proportion of people who voted in the election
They info that they have is that the true proportion before is and that represent a value related to the population.
So on this case the 0.72 represent a statistic since represent the sample and the 0.52 is a value who represent the population for this case is a parameter.
So the correct option is:
c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
