Answer:

17(pi)r/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since neither hand length is known, you can have an answer in terms of one of the hands, but you cannot get just a number.

Let r = the length of the hour hand.

Then, the length of the minute hand is 150% of r = 1.5r.

The minute hand is the radius of the circle drawn by the tip of the minute hand. In 1 hour, the minute hand rotates one full revolution, so the tip of the minute hand moves the circumference of the circle drawn by the tip of the minute hand.

Now we find the circumference of the circle of the tip of the minute hand.

C = 2 * pi * r,

but the radius here is 1.5r, so we get

C_minute_hand =  2 * pi * (1.5)r

C_minute_hand = 3(pi)r

The hour hand rotates a full revolution in 12 hours, so it rotates 1/12 of a revolution in 1 hour. The radius is r.

C_hour_hand = 2 * pi * r * 1/12

C_hour_hand = (pi)r/6

The difference in how much each tip travels is

3(pi)r - (pi)r/6 = (pi)r(3 - 1/6) = 17(pi)r/6

In a recent year, the ACT scores for the math portion of the test were normally distributed, with a mean of 21.1 and a standard
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

a) P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(z

b) P(19

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.396

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.396

c) P(X>26)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{26-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{26-21.1}{5.3})=P(z>0.925)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.925)=1- P(Z

d) We can consider unusual events values above or below 2 deviations from the mean

Lower = \mu -2*\sigma = 21.1 -2*5.3 =10.5

A value below 10.5 can be consider as unusual

Upper = \mu +2*\sigma = 21.1 +2*5.3 =31.7

A value abovr 31.7 can be consider as unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(21.1,5.3)  

Where \mu=21.1 and \sigma=5.3

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(z

Part b

P(19

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.396

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.396

Part c

P(X>26)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{26-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{26-21.1}{5.3})=P(z>0.925)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.925)=1- P(Z

Part d

We can consider unusual events values above or below 2 deviations from the mean

Lower = \mu -2*\sigma = 21.1 -2*5.3 =10.5

A value below 10.5 can be consider as unusual

Upper = \mu +2*\sigma = 21.1 +2*5.3 =31.7

A value abovr 31.7 can be consider as unusual

How do i answer this and how do i find the modal
faltersainse [42]
So firsty up, you need to have equal denominators IN order to do this equation.

 1/3 and 5/12..

3x4=12

So the rule when changing denominators, you multiply 4 intop, so it will become 4/12, and 5/12 + 4/12 = 8/12, and,

8/12 + 1/12= 9/12 and 9/12 simplified is 3/4..

So the answer is 3/4.

Hope this helped.
