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).

In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen
Lesechka [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen concrete has a low value of thermal conductivity in order to minimize subsequent damage due to changing temperatures. Suppose two types of concrete, a graded aggregate and a no-fines aggregate, are being considered for a certain road. The table below summarizes data on thermal conductivity from an experiment carried out to compare the two types of concrete.

Type            ni                xi                  si

Graded       42           0.486            0.187

No-fines      42           0.359           0.158

To find - a. Formulate the above in terms of a hypothesis testing problem.

b. Give the test statistic and its reference distribution (under the null hypothesis).

c. Report the p-value of the test statistic and use it to assess the evidence that this sample provides on the scientific question of difference in mean conductivity of the two materials at the 5% level of significance.

Proof -

a.)

Hypothesis testing problem :

H0 : There is significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

H1 : There is no significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

b)

Test statistic :

Z = \frac{x_{1} - x_{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1}}  + \frac{s_{2}^{2} }{n_{2}} } }

Z = \frac{0.486 - 0.359 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.03496 }{42}  + \frac{0.02496 }{42} } }

Z = \frac{0.127 }{\sqrt{0.001468}}

Z = \frac{0.127 }{0.0377}

⇒Z(cal) = 3.3687

Z(tab) = 1.96

As Z (cal) > Z(tab)

So, we reject H0 at 5% Level of significance

p-value = 0.99962

Hence

There is significant difference in mean conductivity at the two materials.

When solving for x, what is x squared plus 15 equals -8x
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )

x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are 5 and 3, since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus

(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

HELLO. I NEED HELP ON A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS. PLEASE HELP. ​
galben [10]

Question 7: $3945

78,900÷100×5= 3,945

or 789,00×0.05= $3,945

Question 8: I think it may be $675.46 ( but I'm not sure)

$1010 is her annual insurance premium so to find one month we need to divide $1010 by 12

$1010÷12= $84.20

also her annual real estate tax is $938 and to find one month we need to divide this by 12 as well.

$938÷12=$78.20

and in order to find out her combined monthly payment we need to add them all together

$513.12+$84.16+$78.16= $675.46

Question 9: is False

Question 10: I don't know

Hope this helps

What is this answer please help me
Deffense [45]

Answer:

It is proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if its proportional/non-proportional is by using ratios

so go line by line

p pine and k oak

12 pine to 44 oak

18 pine to 66 oak

24 pine to 88 oak

30 pine to 110 oak

Start with the first line

p= pine per k= oak

so obviously not numbers but to help mind you it just means the numbers will be put as p/k (to make life simpler)

Or pine over oak

Second Line

12/44 which reduces down to 3/11

Third Line

18/66 which reduces down to 3/11

Fourth line

24/88 which reduces down to 3/11

Fifth line

30/110 which reduces down to 3/11

In order to be proportional the ratios all have to be equivalent to each other

Therefore,

3/11 = 3/11 = 3/11 = 3/11

So this is proportional
