To find that, we will start from one minute. How many seconds are there in one minute? There are 60 seconds in one minute.
Now, how many minutes are there in an hour? 60 minutes. So we have to do
60 × 60 = seconds in an hour = 3600 seconds
How many hours are in a day? Well, there are 24 hours in a day.
So 3600 × 24 = seconds in a day = 86400 seconds in a day

There are 86400 seconds in a day.

<span>The hour hand will go around the clock twice during a day, every 12 hours. During a single rotation, the minute hand will go around 12 times. The minute hand will pass the hour hand 11 times in the first 12 hours, and 11 times in the second 12 hours. This means that they will meet 22 times.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x and 144 are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180°

3x + 144 = 180 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

3x = 36 ← value of 3x

divide both sides by 3

x = 12

and

2y - 5 and 95 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, so

2y - 5 = 95 ← value of 2y - 5

add 5 to both sides

2y = 100 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 50

Then

x + y = 12 + 50 = 62

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42$

$19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78$

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

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".

$\bar X=19.1$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=9 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=9-1=8$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,8)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=$
