The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.

Assume that the population standard deviation is 2.4 gallons. The mean water usage per family was found to be 19.5 gallons per day for a sample of 3034 families. Construct the 98% confidence interval for the mean usage of water. Round your answers to one decimal place.

The confidence interval for the mean usage of water is (18.7,20.5).

Given population standard deviation of 2.4, mean of 19.5 gallons per day and confidence interval of 98%.

We have to find the confidence interval for the mean usage of water.

To find out the confidence interval we have to first find margin of error.

μ=19.5

σ=2.4

α=0.98

α/2=0.49

We have to find the z value for the p value 0.49 which is z=2.33

Margin of error=z*μ/ $\sqrt{n}$

=2.33*19.5/ $\sqrt{3034}$

=0.82

lower level=mean -m

=19.5-0.82

=18.68

after rounding upto 1 decimal

=18.7

upper mean = mean+m

=19.5+0.82

=20.52

Hence the confidence interval for the usage of water is (18.7,20.52).

Please help with this

GalinKa [24]

The answer is 20

Reason: so the W is 4 and the L is 6 so you do 4+4=8 then you do 6+6=12 then you add the two together and get 20

Hey friend please solve this question

Bas_tet [7]

yes and yes.

you're told ∠A=∠B. this means angle A and B are equal. so the value you get for cos A will be the same as the value you'll get for cos B

also, the value you get for tan A will be the same as the value you'll get for tan B

if that doesn't make sense you could also draw the triangle and solve for A and B.

you're told it's a right angled triangle meaning one of the angles = 90

you're told that C is that angle so if C is a right angle, angle C=90

the sum of all the angles in a triangle = 180

so angle A+ angle B + angle C = 180

angle A+ angle B + 90 = 180

angle A+ angle B = 180 - 90

angle A+ angle B = 90

A and B could be any value but you're told angle A = angle B

angle A+ angle B = 90

you can divide 90 by 2 because A and B are equal. that will give you 45 for A and 45 for B

or

angle A+ angle B = 90

since angle A = angle B,

1. you can substitute angle A with angle B like this

angle B+ angle B = 90

2 angle B = 90

angle B = 90/2

angle B=45; ∴ angle A is also 45 ( because angle A= angle B)

2. or you could substitute angle B with angle A

angle A+ angle A = 90

2 angle A = 90

angle A = 90/2

angle A =45; ∴ angle B is also 45 ( because angle A= angle B)

Now you know what A and B are,

sin A = sin 45; sin B = sin 45

sin 45 = sin 45

tan A = tan 45; tan B = tan 45

tan 45 = tan 45

What is the factored form of x^2-x-2

tekilochka [14]

For this case we have:

By definition, the factorization is an algebraic expression that is used to find two or more factors, taking into account that the product of these factors must be equal to the given expression.

That is to say:

Given an expression of the form $x ^ 2 + (a + b) x + ab$

We can factor in the following way:

$(x + a) (x + b)$

Since, its product is: $x ^ 2 + bx + ax + ab = x ^ 2 + (a + b) x + ab$ ,

checking the given definition.

If we have:

$x ^ 2-x-2$

We can factor:

$(x-2) (x + 1)$

When making your product we obtain: $x ^ 2 + x-2x-2 = x ^ 2-x-2$

Answer:

$(x-2) (x + 1)$
