Answer:

The answer to the question is

30 ° east of Greenwich Mean Time

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we have the given variables

Current Greenwich Mean Time = 10.00 AM

Location of the Sun at the current longitude = zenith

Supposed correct time when clock is at zenith = 12 noon or 12.00 pm

Time difference, or correction required = 10.00 a. m. - 12 p. m. = 2 hours leading

As there are 24 hours in a day one hour of the difference in time is equivalent to 360/24 or 15 ° and as the Sun is already at its zenith at the location then the location is eastwards of Greenwich Mean time that is,

15 ° × 2 = 30 ° east of Greenwich Mean Time

Answer:

P(A\ and\ B) = \frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Your question is not well presented; (See Attachment for complete details)</em>

<em></em>

Required

Find P(A n B)

where

A = Event that the place is a city

B = Event that the place is in North

The first step is to get the sample space;

Let S represent the sample space;

S = \{India,\ Tokyo,\ Houston,\ Peru,\ New York,\ Tijuana,\ Canada \}

n(S) = 7

The next is to list events A and B

A = City

A = \{Tokyo,\ Houston,\ New York,\ Tijuana\}

B = North America

B = \{Houston,\ New York,\ Tijuana,\ Canada\}

The next is to list common elements in A and B

A\ n\ B = \{Houston,\ New York,\ Tijuana\}

n(A\ and\ B) = 3

The probability of A and B is calculated as follows;

P(A\ and\ B) = \frac{n(A\ and\ B)}{n(S)}

Substitute n(A\ and\ B) = 3 and n(S) = 7 in the expression above

P(A\ and\ B) = \frac{3}{7}
