The movement of the minute hand is circular.

Tangence speed is V=2Rπ/T= 2*7*3.14/3600 inches/sec=0.012211 inches/sec

The path (distance) that minute hand past is D=V*t = 0.012211 * 5 min= 0.012211 * 300sec=>

D=3.663≈3.66 inches

Good luck!!!

A 45 foot ladders leaning up against a building. The base of the latter is 20 feet away from the building. What is the angle of
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The angle of elevation to the top of the building is 63.61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate angle of elevation to the top of the building.

For this, we need a triangle

Please check for this in the attachment.

From the diagram, we are to calculate the angle theta.

To do this, we use trigonometric identities.

Looking at what we have, we have the hypotenuse and the adjacent.

So the trigonometric identity to use is the cosine

Mathematically Cosine theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

Thus, Cos theta = 20/45

Cos theta = 0.444444444444444

Theta = Arc cos(0.444444444444444)

Theta = 63.61 degrees

Researchers studying starfish collected two independent random samples of 40 starfish. One sample came from an ocean area in the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The test statistic for the appropriate test is \frac{0.15-0.275}{\sqrt{0.2125(1-0.2125)[\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{40}]}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment conducted here is to determine whether there is a difference in proportion of starfish over 8 inches in length in the two ocean areas, i.e. north and south.

The hypothesis to test this can be defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: There is no difference in proportion of starfish over 8 inches in length in the two ocean areas, i.e. <em>p</em>₁ = <em>p</em>₂.

<em>Hₐ</em>: There is a difference in proportion of starfish over 8 inches in length in the two ocean areas, i.e. <em>p</em>₁ ≠ <em>p</em>₂.

The two-proportion <em>z</em>-test would be used to perform the test.

A sample of <em>n</em> = 40 starfishes are selected from both the ocean areas.

It provided that of the 40 starfish from the north, 6 were found to be over 8 inches in length and of  the 40 starfish from the south, 11 were found to be over 8 inches in length.

Compute the sample proportion of starfish from north that were over 8 inches in length as follows:

\hat p_{n}=\frac{6}{40}=0.15

Compute the sample proportion of starfish from south that were over 8 inches in length as follows:

\hat p_{s}=\frac{11}{40}=0.275

The test statistic is:

z=\frac{\hat p_{n}-\hat p_{s}}{\sqrt{P(1-P)[\frac{1}{n_{n}}+\frac{1}{n_{s}}]}}

Compute the combined proportion <em>P</em> as follows:

P=\frac{X_{n}+X_{s}}{n_{n}+n_{s}}=\frac{6+11}{40+40}=0.2125

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

z=\frac{\hat p_{n}-\hat p_{s}}{\sqrt{P(1-P)[\frac{1}{n_{n}}+\frac{1}{n_{s}}]}}

  =\frac{0.15-0.275}{\sqrt{0.2125(1-0.2125)[\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{40}]}}

Thus, the test statistic for the appropriate test is \frac{0.15-0.275}{\sqrt{0.2125(1-0.2125)[\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{40}]}}.

In the small town of Middleton, there are only two restaurants that serve pizza- a small family owned Italian restaurant and a n
9966 [12]

Answer: 1.

Yes , the data franchise owner is collecting, will be helpful in order to counter the criticism from the critic. As he has a record for every delivery they are making on daily basis.

2.

The scenario is that for every fifth customer , the owner cross the four lines he makes. Thus a pack of five and easy to remember. As the data on regular week days is less, As can do the same for the third customer. Crossing the 2 lines for 3rd customer.

3.

With this provision of crossing the third customer, the owner can have a better check on the late delivery. As it will bring in his notice earlier as compared to fifth crossing.

4.

With the data as provided in the table, we can come to the conclusion that on weekends , i.e. both on time delivery and late deliveries are high in numbers. It must be because of high demand on that days. So owner must make some provision like hiring some more delivery boys for weekend in order to reduce the late deliveries.
