<h3>Answer:  2/5</h3>

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

Explanation:

A = list of primes between 2 and 16, inclusive for both endpoints

A = {2,3,5,7,11,13}

B = list of integers between 2 and 16, inclusive for both endpoints

B = {2,3,4,...,14,15,16}

The dots indicate the pattern continues, which means we don't have to write out every value.

There are n(A) = 6 items in set A and n(B) = 16-2+1 = 15 items in set B. I'm using the formula that a set like {p,p+1,p+2,...,q-2,q-1,q} has q-p+1 elements in it. This only works for integers and they must be consecutive. Also q > p.

Once we know how many items are in each set, we divide the two counts

P(finding a prime between 2 and 16) = n(A)/n(B) = 6/15 = 2/5

How to find the volume of the cone
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The closest measurement to the volume of hat is 84.82 in.³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The dimensions of hat are height(h) 9 inches and diameter(d) 6 inches.

Now, to find the volume of cone:

Putting the formula \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h.

Radius(r) is not given, finding the radius:

Radius(r)=half of the diameter(d)

r=\frac{d}{2}

r=\frac{6}{2}

r=3.

Then, \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi \times3^{2}\times9

=\frac{1}{3}\times3.14\times9\times9 (\pi =3.14)

=\frac{1}{3} \times254.34

=\frac{254.34}{3}

=84.78 in.³

So, the volume is 84.78 in.³ .

Therefore, the closest measurement to the volume of hat is 84.82 in.³.
