The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallons and the mean is 15.9 gallons per day. If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 179 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.075 = 0.925[/tex], so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 1.69 gallon?

This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} = 1.3[/tex]

If they are using a 85% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found for M = 0.14. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14 = 1.44\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.44*1.3[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.44*1.3}{0.14})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 178.8[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample of 179 is needed.

Tom has 2 1/2 times as many cards as Harry. Together they have 98 cards. How many cards do they each have?

Answers

Answer:

Tom has 70 cards, and Harry has 28 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = number of cards Harry has.

Then the number of cards Tom has is 2 1/2 * h = 2.5h.

Together they have 2.5h + h = 3.5h number of cards.

Together they have 98 cards.

3.5h = 98

h = 98/3.5

h = 28

Harry has 28 cards.

Tom has 2.5h = 2.5 * 28 = 70

Answer: Tom has 70 cards, and Harry has 28 cards.

Mensualmente el número de árboles talados aumenta en un 9% respecto del mes anterior. Si este mes hay 85.000 árboles talados, ¿cuántos árboles talados habrá, aproximadamente, en 6 meses más?

Answers

Answer:

FV= 639.483 arboles

Step-by-step explanation:

Dada la siguiente información:

Cantidad de árboles talados (A)= 85.000

Proporción de crecimiento (g)= 9% mensual

Cantidad de meses (n)= 6

Para calcular el total de árboles talados en 6 meses, tenemos que usar la siguiente formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n - 1]} / i

A= cantidad de árboles talados

i= proporcion de crecimiento

n= cantidad de  meses

FV= {85.000*[(1.09^6) - 1]} / 0.09

FV= 639.483 arboles

Ahora, la cantidad de árboles que se talaran en el sexto mes:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 85,000*(1.09^6)

FV= 142.553

m∠A = 48.81°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle is a right triangle and we have to measure ∠A.

Since, opposite side and adjacent sides of angle A has been given

So we will apply tangent rule to get the measure of angle A.

tan(∠A) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

tan(∠A) = [tex]\frac{8}{7}[/tex]

∠A = [tex]\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{8}{7})[/tex]

∠A = 48.814

  ≈ 48.81°

What is the height of the cone if the volume is 12 pie ft ? And radius is 3ft

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem One

V = pi r^2 h

V = 3.14 * (4/2)^2 * 6

V = 3.14 * 4 * 6

V = 75.36

However, that is not the answer. The answer is 1/3 of that amount.

V1 = 1/3 * 75.36

V1 = 25.12

Problem 2

V= `12 pi

r = 3 feet

Formula

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

12* pi = 1/3 * pi * 3^2 * h      Cancel the pi s.

12 = 1/3 * 9 * h

12 = 3 h                                Divide by 3

12/3 = h

h = 4

Michelle got an average score of 80 on two tests. What score must
she get on the third test so that her average score for the three tests
is the same as the average score for the first two tests?

Answers

Answer:

Michelle must get an 80 on her next test to keep her average score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Michelle got an average score of 80 on two tests, to determine what score she must get on the third test so that her average score for the three tests is the same as the average score for the first two tests, the following calculation must be performed:

X / 2 = 80

X = 80 x 2

X = 160

X x 3 = 80 x 3

X x 3 = 240

X = 240/3

x = 80

So, Michelle must get an 80 on her next test to keep her average score.

A school district is considering moving the start of the school day at Groveland High from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. to allow students to get more sleep at night. They want to estimate how many more hours of sleep teens get if their school starts at 9:00 a.m. compared to teens whose schools start at 8:00 a.m. The district takes random samples of 50 of students from Groveland High and 39 students from Phillips High School, which starts at 9:00 a.m., and surveys them about their sleep habits. The sample mean number of hours of sleep per student at Groveland is 7.1 hours, and the standard deviation is 1.7 hours. At Phillips, the sample mean is 8.3 hours of sleep, with a standard deviation of 1.9 hours.

The cost of one pen when pens are priced at 5 for p dollars

I really need help on this

Answers

5 dollar for one pen

Answer:

$1

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 pens = $p, then 1 pen = $p/5.

But because 5 pens = $p, it would be the same thing as 5 = p because you just take off the labels.

So p = 5 and one pen would be:

$p/5 = 1

5/5 = 1

1 = 1
