The fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

Since there are six essays and each student is required to write an essay on one of the six topics, the probability of choosing one of the six topic is

P(one topic) = one topic/total number of topics

= 1/6.

Since we have 100 students, the fewest number of students that could choose the topic selected by most students is

n = Probability of selecting one topic × total number of students

= P(one topic) × 100

= 1/6 × 100

= 16.67

≅ 17 students.

So, the fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

What is the area of the sector with a central angle of 49° and a radius of 11 cm? Use 3.14 for pi and round your final answer to
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{51.71 cm}^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle θ is in radians, the formula for the area (A) of a sector of a circle is

A = ½r²θ

If θ is in degrees

A = \dfrac{1}{2}r^{2}\theta \times \dfrac{\pi \text{ rad}}{180^{\circ}}= \pi r^{2}\times\dfrac{\theta }{360}

Data:

θ = 49°

r = 11 cm

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}A& = &3.14\times 11^{2}\times\dfrac{49}{360}\\\\ & = &3.14 \times 121 \times 0.1361\\ & = & \mathbf{51.71}\\\end{array}\\\text{The area of the sector is }\boxed{\textbf{51.71 cm}^{2}}

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the expected number of people who pass will be calculated as:

= Probability of passing the driving test × Number of people tested

= 65% × 15

= 0.65 × 15

= 9.75

Therefore, expected number of people who pass is 9.
