Consider a magnetic field passing through a flat circular surface perpendicular to it, where the magnetic flux through the surface is given by the product of the magnetic field's strength and the area of the surface. Suppose the surface consists of two adjacent circles. The radius of the larger circle is four times the radius of the smaller circle, measured in meters. A magnetic field with a strength of 15.00 teslas passes uniformly through this surface, which is perpendicular to the field. Given that the total magnetic flux through this surface is 7,000 teslas ⋅⋅square meters, determine the magnetic flux, in teslas ⋅⋅ square meters, through the larger circle, rounded to the nearest whole number.

In a survey of 12,345 randomly selected homeowners in a large city, those surveyed reported an average monthly electricity bill of 120 dollars in the summer months, as compared to 110 dollars per month in the summer two years ago. Both estimates had a margin of error of 5 dollars at the 95% confidence level. Which of the following is a reasonable claim to make based on this sample?

  All homeowners in the city had monthly electricity bills between 115 dollars and 125 dollars last summer.

   95% of homeowners in the city had monthly electricity bills between 115 dollars and 125 dollars last summer.

  It is plausible that the average monthly electricity bill of homeowners in the city remained the same in the summer months of last year as it was in the summer two years ago.

  The average monthly electricity bill for homeowners in the city last summer was 15 dollars higher than in the summer two years ago, with a 95% confidence interval between 115 dollars and 125 dollars.

A bakery sells three types of cupcakes: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. On a certain day, the bakery made a batch consisting of 120 cupcakes in total. The number of chocolate cupcakes is twice the number of vanilla cupcakes, and the number of strawberry cupcakes is five more than the number of chocolate cupcakes. How many vanilla cupcakes did the bakery make?
