A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi

nting directly at the 12. If the tip of the second hand is directly below the tip of the hour hand, and if the length of the second hand is 9 cm, what is the length of the hour hand?

I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture. 

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by: 

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60 

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm. 

cos 60 = x/9 

9 cos 60 =x

x = 4.5 cm

A community college has a math placement exam that has a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 8.2. If a student takes the exam
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 65, \sigma = 8.2

What is the score that cuts off the bottom 2.5%

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.025, so X when Z = -1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.96 = \frac{X - 65}{8.2}

X - 65 = -1.96*8.2

X = 48.93

The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.

Find the inverse of each of the given functions.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The inverse of the function is (3x+4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, exchange x and y and then solve for y

y = (2x-4) /3

Exchange x and y

x = (2y-4)/3

Solve for y

Multiply each side by 3

3x = (2y-4)/3 *3

3x =2y-4

Ad 4 to each side

3x+4 = 2y-4+4

(3x+4) =2y

Divide each side by 2

(3x+4)/2 =2y/2

(3x+4)/2 = y

The inverse of the function is (3x+4)/2
