The first pipe fills 1/8 of a pool in one hr.
The second pipe fills 1/4 of a pool in one hr.

(1/8+1/4)2= 3/4 done by the first two pipes in 2 hours.
Therefore the last pipe must do 1 1/4 of the filling in 2 hours, which is 5/8 per hour.

5/8x=1
x=8/5

It takes the third pipe 1 hour and 36 minutes to fill it by itself.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

0.9769

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

X : 7.5, 9.9, 4.8, 9, 8.1, 1.7, 3.1

Y : 35, 6, 45, 18, 20, 89, 84

The Correlation Coefficient obtained by using a graphing calculator to model the data above is : 0.9769, this means a strong positive correlation exists between the two variables.

a machine produces open boxes using Square sheets of metal the figure illustrates that the machine Cuts equal sized squares meas
Zinaida [17]
A square has all of sides equals. So in the bottom of box you have a square 2x2 and the formula for volumen is width*length*thicknes, from the data 2*2*t=200 cubic inches, solve for t=50 inches. Now for an open box you have 4 pieces around the square in the bottom, you add 50+2+50=102 inches, for lenght and width 102inches

A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective. Step 2 of 2 :
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

0.0497 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.026

0.0497 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.073

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (0.026;0.073)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

The estimated proportion for this case is:

\hat p =\frac{322-306}{322}= 0.0497

Represent the proportion of defectives for this case

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.0497 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.026

0.0497 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0497(1-0.0497)}{322}}=0.073

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (0.026;0.073)

Alegbra 2: pls help!!

Answer:

Sean's rocket lands 3 seconds after Kiara's rocket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiara:  f(t)= -16t² + 80t

Sean:  h(t) = -16t² + 120t + 64

Assume that both rockets launch at the same time.  We need to be suspicious of Sean's rocket launch.  His equation for height has "+64" at the end, whereas Kiara's has no such term.  The +64 is the starting height iof Sean's rocket.  So Kiara has a 64 foot disadvantage from the start.  But if it is a race to the ground, then the 64 feet may be a disadvantage.  [Turn the rocket upside down, in that case.  :) ]

We want the time, t, at which f(t) and h(t) are both equal to 0 (ground).  So we can set both equation to 0 and calculate t:

Kiara:  f(t)= -16t² + 80t

0 = -16t² + 80t

Use the quadratic equation or solve by factoring.  I'll factor:

0 = -16t(t - 5)

T can either be 0 or 5

We'll choose 5.  Kiara's rocket lands in 5 seconds.

Sean:  h(t) = -16t² + 120t + 64

0= -16t² + 120t + 64

We can also factor this equation (or solve with the quadratic equation):

0 = -8(t-8)(2t+1)

T can be 8 or -(1/2) seconds. We'll use 8 seconds.  Sean's rocket lands in 8 seconds.

Sean's rocket lands 3 seconds after Kiara's rocket.
