A standard clock has a 1-cm hour hand and a 2-cm minute hand. At 12 pm, they are both pointing in the same direction and the dis

Answer:

The distance between the hands is √(3)cm ≈ 1.73cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard clock, the angle between every number is 30°, therefore the angle between 12 and 2 will be 30° x 2 = 60°.

Looking at the diagram, to find c we can make use of our cosine formula

c² = a² + b² –2abCos(C°)

a = 2, b = 1 and C° = 60°

Therefore we have:

c² = 2² + 1² –2 x 2 x 1 x cos(60°) =

c² = 4 + 1 – 4 x 0.5 =

c² = 5 – 2 =

c² = 3

c = √(3) ≈ 1.73

Therefore, the distance between the hands is √(3)cm ≈ 1.73cm.

A sample of size 200 will be taken at random from an infinite population. given that the population proportion is 0.60, the prob
Musya8 [376]

Let p be the population proportion. <span>
We have p=0.60, n=200 and we are asked to find P(^p<0.58). </span>
The thumb of the rule is since n*p = 200*0.60 and n*(1-p)= 200*(1-0.60) = 80 are both at least greater than 5, then n is considered to be large and hence the sampling distribution of sample proportion-^p will follow the z standard normal distribution. Hence this sampling distribution will have the mean of all sample proportions- U^p = p = 0.60 and the standard deviation of all sample proportions- δ^p = √[p*(1-p)/n] = √[0.60*(1-0.60)/200] = √0.0012. 
So, the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.58 
= P(^p<0.58) 
= P{[(^p-U^p)/√[p*(1-p)/n]<[(0.58-0.60)/√0... 
= P(z<-0.58) 
= P(z<0) - P(-0.58<z<0) 
= 0.5 - 0.2190 
= 0.281 
<span>So, there is 0.281 or 28.1% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.58. </span>
