A rectangular swimming pool is 25 ft long and 20 1/2 ft wide, and it must be filled to a depth of 4 1/2 ft. One cubic foot of wa

ter is equal to 7 1/2 gallons. How many gallons of water will it take to fill the pool?

ANSWER

307½ gallons of water

EXPLANATION

The volume of the rectangular swimming pool is

$V = l \times w \times h$

where l=25ft and w=20½ ft.

when it is filled to a depth of 4½ ft ,then the height is , h=4½ ft.

We substitute these values into the formula to get:

$V = 25\times 20.5\times 4.5$

$V = 2306.25 {ft}^{3}$

If one cubic foot of water is 7½ gallons, then 2306.25 cubic feet will be

$\frac{2306.25}{7.5} = 307.5gallons$

We need 307.5 gallons of water to fill the pool.

The function f(x)=125(0.9)x models the population of a species of fly in millions after x years.

SSSSS [86.1K]

A word to the wise: It's <span> f(x)=125(0.9)^x, where ^ represents exponentiation.

In this case the ave. value over the interval [11, 15] is

125(0.9)^15 - 125(0.9)^11
------------------------------------- = (125/4) [ 0.9^15 - 0.9^11)
15 - 11 = (31.25) [ 0.2059 - 0.3138 ] = a negative result
= (31.25)(-0.1079) = -3.372 (av. r. of c.
over the interval [11,15] )

Do the same thing for the time interval [1,5]. Then compare the two rates of change.</span>

Solve the system of equations. y = 2x y = x 2 – 15

inn [45]

Answer:

D. (–3, –6) and (5, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system has equations:

$y=2x$ ...(1)

and

$y=x^2-15$ ...(2)

Equate both equations;

$x^2-15=2x$

Rewrite in standard form:

$x^2-2x-15=0$

We factor to obtain:

$(x+3)(x-5)=0$

By the zero product principle;

$(x+3)=0,(x-5)=0$

$\implies x=-3,x=5$

When x=-3, y=2(-3)=-6

This yields the ordered pair (-3,-6).

When x=5, y=2(5)=10

This yields the ordered pair (5,10).

The correct choice is D.

Answer: B) [-0.0332,0.1332]

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> is an interval where we can be a percentage sure the true mean is.

The confidence interval for a difference in population proportion is calculated following these steps:

First, let's find population proportion for each population:

$p_{1}=\frac{30}{120}=0.25$

$p_{2}=\frac{32}{160}=0.2$

Second, calculate standard deviation for each proportion:

$\sigma_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{0.25(0.75)}{120} } = 0.0395$

$\sigma_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.2(0.8)}{160} } = 0.0316$

Now, we calculate standard error for difference:

$SE=\sqrt{\sigma_{1}^{2}+\sigma_{2}^{2}}$

$SE=\sqrt{0.0395^{2}+0.0316^{2}}$

SE = 0.0505

The z-score for a 90% CI is 1.645.

Then, confidence interval is

$p_{1}-p_{2}$ ± z-score.SE

$0.25-0.2$ ± $1.645(0.0505)$

0.05 ± 0.0831

The limits of this interval are:

inferior: 0.05 - 0.0831 = $-0.0332$

superior: 0.05 + 0.0831 = 0.1332

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the population proportion of pit pulls and golden retrievers is $[-0.0332,0.1332]$ .
