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 0.15 gallons. a previous study found that for an average family the standard deviation is 1.9 gallons and the mean is 16 gallons per day. if they are using a 90% 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.

To determine the average water use, 109 people must be sampled.

1.9 gallons is the standard deviation.

E = 0.15 gallons maximum error

1.9 gallons on average

90% is the critical value.

1.645 is the 90% confidence interval.

sample size requirement,

n = (((z ÷ 2) × σ) ÷ E)²

n = (((1.645 ÷ 2) × 1.9) ÷ 0.15)²

n = ((0.8225 × 1.9) ÷ 0.15)²

n = (1.5627 ÷ 0.15)²

n = (10.418)²

n = 108.53 ≈ 109

As a result, the minimal sample size necessary to determine the mean water use = 109.

It is determined by dividing the average standard error by the squared of the sample size, and it decreases with increasing sample size. In other words, when the sample size is sufficiently big, the population mean approaches the population mean.

Help me please i don’t understand

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 red candies, 18 green candies, 9 yellow candies, and 13 brown candies.

10 + 18 + 9 + 13 = 50.

There is a total of 50 candies. Out of the 50 candies, 18 are green.

\frac{18}{50} \\

You have to get to 250 .That means you do  \frac{18}{50}  = \frac{x}{250}

250 divided by 50 = 5.

18 x 5 = 90.

Therefore, she can expect 90 green candies

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider two points through which the line passes through

(x_1 , y _ 1 ) = ( 0 , 4 ) \ and \  (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = ( 4, 2 )

Step 1 : <em><u>Find slope of the line</u></em>

Slope, m_1 = \frac{rise}{run}  \\\\That \ is \ m_1 \ = \frac{y_2 - y _ 1}{x_2 - x_1}

                  = \frac{2 - 4}{4-0} \\\\=-\frac{2}{4}\\\\= - \frac{1}{2}

Step 2 : <em><u>Find equation of the line.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>(y - y _ 1) = m_ 1 (x - x_1)\\\\( y - 4) = - \frac{1}{2}(x - 0)\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4<em><u /></em>

Which of the following are the correct properties of slope?
Korvikt [17]

A. Some lines have no slope. TRUE. Vertical lines have no defined slope.

B. The slope of a line is always positive. FALSE. Slopes can be negative, zero or positive.

C. The slope of a line that moves up from left to right is positive. TRUE. Example: y = 2x + 5 has a graph that moves UP as x increases.

D. If two lines have the same slope, then they are the same line. FALSE. While this is possible, it does not consider the important case where two lines have the same slope but different vertical intercepts.

E. A steep line has negative slope. FALSE. Negative slope has little or nothing to do with the "steepness" of the line.
