Answer:

95% Confidence interval of the standard deviation: 3.33 ≤ σ ≤ 8.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 10

Degrees of freedom = 10-1 = 9

For a 95% confidence interval, we have  α=0.05, which gives 2.5% of the area at each end of the chi-square distribution.

We calculate the chi-square values for a 95% confidence interval

Value of chi-square_0.975 = 2.70

Value of chi-square_0.025 = 19.02

We then evaluate [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^{2} }}[/tex] for the two values of chi-square.

Then we have:

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^{2}}} =\sqrt{\frac{(10-1)*4.848^{2} }{2.70}}=\sqrt{78.34}=8.85\\\\\\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)*s^{2} }{X^{2}}} =\sqrt{\frac{(10-1)*4.848^{2} }{19.02}}=\sqrt{11.12}=3.33[/tex]

With these results we can express the confidence interval as

3.33 ≤ σ ≤ 8.85

A standard showerhead in Nathan's house dispenses 11 gallons of water per minute. Nathan changed this showerhead to an energy-sa
Fynjy0 [20]
The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.

So, 3 x 8 = 24.

Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,

11 x 8 = 88

Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,

88 - 24 = 64

Nathan saved 64 gallons.

Wendy is on a long road trip. So far, she has driven 125 miles in 150 minutes.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

125 miles / 150 minutes = 300 miles / x       Criss multiply

Notice that the numerators both have the same units -- miles. Proportions should always be set up that way.

125 x = 150 * 300                  Combine the right

125x = 45000                        Divide by 125

x = 45000/125

x = 360 more minutes which is 6 hours.

Greta read a 900 pages book in 15 days, reading for 5 hours every day. How many pages did she read per hour
allsm [11]
First, let's find how many page's Greta read per day. She read a total of 900 pages across 15 days, so she read:

900 pages / 15 days = 60 pages/day

Now we can find how many pages she read per hour by dividing the 60 pages per day by 5 hours:

60 / 5 = 12 pages/hour

The answer is 12 pages.
