Answer:

12 noon

Step-by-step explanation:

Clock 1 loses 3 minutes every 2 hours. Now, 2 hours = 120 minutes.

This means, it has speed of 120 - 3 = 117 minutes for every 2 hours.

Thus, in 1 hours, it's speed = 117/2 = 58.5 min/hr

Clock 2 gains 3 minutes every 4 hours

Which means in an hour, it gains ; 4/3 minutes

Thus, it's speed an hour is; 60 + 4/3 = 61.333 min/hr

Now, When he returns home in less than two weeks, the clocks show the same time.

let's say the number of hours he was away is x. For the 2 clocks to show the same time, it means they have to show it by 12 noon at another day since it was at noon that he set the correct times before leaving.

Thus, they will both be showing 12 noon.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

It is an unusual result contradicting the national survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

National survey showed 44% of college students who drink.

The professor's survey showed that 96/244 = 39% drink.

The professor's survey deviated from the national survey is 5% (44% - 39%) representing about 0.25% (5% squared) variance.

Standard deviation is the spread of a set of numbers from their mean.  In other words, it measures how far an observed value is from the mean. It can be calculated by getting the square root of the variance.
