Clock angle problem through 360° in 60 minutes or 6° per minute. where: where: The time is 5:24. The angle in degrees of the hour hand is: The angle in degrees of the minute hand is: The angle between the hands can be found using the following formula: where If the angle is greater than 180 degrees then subtract it from 360 degrees. The time is 2:20. The time is 10:16. The hour and minute hands are superimposed only when their angle is the same. 10:54., and 12:00. Clock angle problem Clock angle problems are a type of mathematical problem which involve finding
Degrees of freedom (statistics) degrees of freedom. In some complicated settings, such as unbalanced split-plot designs, the sums-of-squares no longer have scaled chi-squared distributions. Comparison of sum-of-squares with degrees-of-freedom is no longer meaningful, and software may report certain fractional 'degrees of freedom' in these cases. Such numbers have no genuine degrees-of-freedom interpretation, but are simply providing an "approximate" chi-squared distribution for the corresponding sum-of-squares. The details of such approximations are beyond the scope of this page. Several commonly encountered statistical distributions (Student's t, Chi-Squared, F) have parameters that are commonly referred to as "degrees of freedom". This terminology simply reflects that in many applications
