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).

Paul [167]
To mix cleaner and water you need to divide the bucket's capacity into 4.It's easy in this case as gallon is divided into quarts (1 gallon = 4 quarts).We know that one part will be cleaner, it means that you will need to use 1 quart of the cleaner.  
hope thats right

Sally can paint a room in 9 hours while it takes Steve 3 hours to paint the same room. How long would it take them to paint the
Archy [21]
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.

This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.

Question 20: Please help what are sin x and cos x?
sweet [91]

Answer:

A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan x =   \frac{6}{8}  =  \frac{opposite \: side \: to \:  \angle \: x}{adjacent \: side \: to \:  \angle \: x}  \\  \\ hypotenuse  \\ =  \sqrt{ {(opp. \: side)}^{2} +  {(adj. \: side)}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {6}^{2} +  {8}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{36 + 64}  \\  =  \sqrt{100}  \\  = 10 \\  \\ \because  \sin (x) =  \frac{opposite \: side \: to \:  \angle \: x}{hypotenuse}  \\  \\   \huge{ \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: \sin (x) =  \frac{6}{10}}}}  \\  \\ \cos (x) =  \frac{adjacent \: side \: to \:  \angle \: x}{hypotenuse}  \\  \\  \huge{ \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: \cos (x) =  \frac{8}{10} }}} \\

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
