Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s first subtract 4 from 20 to see how much was lost.

20-4=16

Now, we see that 16 is a certain percent of twenty that we want to find. When talking about percents, the word “is” represents an equal sign. So, we can write this equation. We will have p represent our prevent.

16=20p (16 is a certain percent of 20)

Now, we solve by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate the p.

p=0.8

0.8 is 80% or 4/5, so 4/5 of the dam water has been lost.

Have a wonderful day! :D

SAT Scores: Assume that in 2010 the mean mathematics SAT score was 555, and the standard deviation was 125. A sample of 65 score
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean score is less than 522 = 0.0166 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 2010 the mean mathematics SAT score was 555, and the standard deviation was 125 i.e.;

Mean, \mu = 555      and     Standard deviation, \sigma = 125

Also,  Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1) where, X bar = sample mean

                                                        n = sample size

Now, Probability(X bar < 522) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{522-555}{\frac{125}{\sqrt{65} } } ) = P(Z < -2.1284)

                                               = P(Z > 2.1284) = 0.0166

The above probability is calculated using z table.

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean score is less than 522 is 0.0166 .

Can somebody please help me?
ElenaW [278]
 <span>for the first part, realize that the hour and minute hands are moving at different rates; in one hour, the minute hands moves all the way around the face of the clock, and thus moves a total of 360 degrees or 2 pi radians; the hour hand moves only 1/12 away around the clock, so covers only 30 degrees or Pi/6 radians. 

Now, the LINEAR distance traveled by the tip of each hand is also determined by the length of the hand. In the case of the minute hand, it sweeps out a circle of radius 10 cm, so traces out a circle of radius 10 cm. Since the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r, the minute hand (remember it made one complete cycle) covers a distance of 2*pi*10cm=20 Pi cm 

The hour hand covers only 1/12 a circle, but that circle is only 6 cm in radius, so the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand is: 

1/12 *[2 *pi*r]=1/12*[12*pi]=pi 

so the difference is 19pi 

for the last part, you should draw a diagram of the two hands, the minute hand is 10 cm in length, the hour hand is 6 cm in length, and they are 30 degrees apart...from that drawing, see if you can figure out the remaining leg of the triangle you can form from them 

good luck</span><span>
