Water flows at a rate of 8000 cubic inches per minute into a cylindrical tank. The tank has a diameter of 128 inches and a heigh
1 answer:
Answer:
The height of the water = 6.2 in. to the nearest tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The rate of flows of water into the tank = 8000 in.³/min.
∴ The volume of the water in the tank after 10 min. = 8000 × 10 = 80000 in.³
∵ The water take the shape of the tank
∴ The height of the water = volume of water ÷ Area of the base of the tank
∵ The tank is cylinder with diameter 128 in. and height 72 in.
∴ The area of the base of the tank = π(128/2)²
∴ The height of the water =
∴ The height of the water = 6.2 in. to the nearest tenth

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.
From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, .
We also know that E=5% or E=0.05
Also, since, is not given, we will assume that
=0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have
in the expression and that will be maximum only when
=0.5. (For any other value of
, we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if,
is 0.4, then
and thus,
.).
We will now use the formula
We will now substitute all the data that we have and we will get
which can approximated to n=271.
So, the brand manager needs a sample size of 271
