What is the recursive formula for the sequence? 8, 10, 12, 14, . . .

It takes 18 hours to fill a pool using 8 garden hoses. How long would it take to fill the same pool using 9 garden hoses?

levacccp [35]

Use rates, so 8 garden hoses over 18 hours
then find the how many hours one garden house can fill up by doing this = 18/8 you divide the 8 for both sides which is about 2.25/1
so then you times 9 which is about 20/9 hoses
your answer is 20

jeka94

Answer:

C. Three equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Barron's reported that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 17.5 weeks. Assume that for the population of

Olin [163]

Answer:

$P(16.5$

And using the normal standard table or excel we find the probability:

$P(-1.768< Z< 1.768) = P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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 Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the avergae number of weeks an individual is unemployed of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(17.5,4)$

Where $\mu=17.5$ and $\sigma=4$

Since the distribution for X is normal then, the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu= 17.5, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{4}{\sqrt{50}}=0.566)$

We select a sample of n =50 people. And we want to find the following probability

$P(16.5$

And using the normal standard table or excel we find the probability:

$P(-1.768< Z< 1.768) = P(Z$

Experts estimate that when levees break in the aftermath of a hurricane, water can flow into a city at a peak rate of 8 billion

worty [1.4K]

Full question:

Experts estimate that when levees break in the aftermath of a hurricane, water can flow into a city at a peak rate of 8 billion gallons per day. There are 7.5 gallons in 1 cubic foot. Use this information to complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click the loon to view the USCS measurements a. Find the flow rate in units of cubic feet per second (cs). Compare this flow rate to a river with an average flow rate of 30,000 cfs. The flow rate is cfs, which is approximately % of the flow rate of the river (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) b. Assume that the flooded part of the city had an area of 8 square miles Estimate how much in foot) the water level rose in one day at the given flow rate. The water level rose approximately (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answer and explanation:

Peak rate= 8 billion gallons per day

7.5 gallons = 1 cubic feet

Given that

8 billion gallons= 24 hrs

And 24 hrs = 86400 seconds

8 billion gallons =86400 seconds

In one second =8000,000,000/86400

= 92,592.593 gallons

Units of cubic feet per second =92592.593/7.5= 12345.68 cubic feets

Therefore the flow rate in cubic feet per second = 12345.68 cubic feets

If we compare this to 30000 cubic feet per second flow rate of the river, it would be 12345.68/30000*100/1= 41.152% of the flow rate of the river

B) Given that the total cubic feet per day =86400*12345.68= 1066666752 cubic feet

And 1 mile = 5280 feet

1 square mile = 27878400 square feet

8 square miles = 8 × 27878400 = 223027200 square feet

To calculate the height,

The number of foot by which the water level rose in one day is

1066666752/223027200 = 4.7826 feet per day
