Answer:
Interval [16.34 , 21.43]
Step-by-step explanation:
First step. <u>Calculate the mean</u>
Second step. <u>Calculate the standard deviation</u>
As the number of data is less than 30, we must use the t-table to find the interval of confidence.
We have 6 observations, our level of confidence DF is then 6-1=5 and we want our area A to be 80% (0.08).
We must then choose t = 1.476 (see attachment)
Now, we use the formula that gives us the end points of the required interval
where n is the number of observations.
The extremes of the interval are then, rounded to the nearest hundreth, 16.34 and 21.43
Answer:
The distance from the shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost is 0 m, or the pipe should be routed to the point P
Step-by-step explanation:
We note that, cost to lay pipe in water = 2.3 × cost to lay pipe on land
Distance of the small resort on the island from point p on the shoreline = 3 miles
Location of the closest source of fresh water is 10 miles along the shoreline from p
∴ The small resort, the point p and the closest source of the fresh water on the shoreline together form a right triangle with sides
Height = 3 miles
Base = 10 miles and
Hypotenuse =
To find the cost of laying the pipeline by the various route, we multiply the water routes by 2.3 and the land routes by 1 and we get
Costs:
Height = Water route = 2.3 × 3 miles = 6.9
Base = Land route = 1 × 10 miles = 10
Hypotenuse = Water route = 2.3 × 10.44 miles = 24.012
Therefore, the two routes are either
10 miles to point p and 3 miles across the water to the resort with a cost = 10 + 6.9 = 16.9 or
Directly to the small resort through 10.44 miles across the water with cost = 24.012
Therefore, to minimize cost, the pipe should come from the resort to P from there to the fresh water source.
That is the distance from the shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost = 0 m.
