How to calculate the area of a sector</h3>

A sector is said to be a part of a circle made of the arc of the circle along with its two radii.

The formula for calculating the area of a sector is expressed as;

A = r²β/2

where

r is the radius of the circle

β is the angle subtended

Since the the hour hand travel during 5 hours, the subtended angle by the sector will be;

β = 360/5

β = 72 degrees

Given the following parameters

r = 16/2

r = 8in

Substitute into the formula

A = 8²(72π)/360
A = 40.192in

Therefore the hour hand travels 40.192in in 5 hours

The area of triangle ABC is 1.89 square feet. The measure of side c is ______.

Feliz [49]

we are given

Area is 1.89

$A=40$

$b=2.8$

now, we can use area formula

$A=\frac{1}{2} c*b*sin(A)$

$1.89=\frac{1}{2} *c*2.8*sin(40)$

now, we can solve for c

we will get

$c=2.10023$ .............Answer

There are 12 students in a classroom, including the triplets joey, chloe, and zoe. If 3 of the 12 are randomly selcted to give s

forsale [732]

The probability of choosing Joey first is 1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is 1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is 1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

(1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)

= 1/1320 = 0.00076 = 0.076 percent

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)$

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

$Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)$

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

$z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.
