A city planner wants to estimate, with a 99% confidence level, the average monthly residential water usage in the city. Based on

earlier data, the population standard deviation of the monthly residential water usage in this city is 387.40 gallons. How large a sample should be selected so that the estimate for the average monthly residential water usage in this city is within 110 gallons of the population mean?

Answer: 82

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n= (\dfrac{z^*\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

, where E = Margin of error.

\sigma = Population standard deviation for the prior study.

As per given , we have

\sigma=387.40 gallons.

Margin of error : E= 110 gallons

Critical value for 99% confidence level = z* = 2.576

Then, the required sample size : n= (\dfrac{(2.576)\cdot (387.40)}{110})^2

n= (9.07220363636)^2\approx82  {Rounded to the nearest integer.}

Hence, the minimum sample size = 82

Suppose that a number written as a decimal has an infinite number of non-repeating digits after the decimal point. What is this
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is called an irrational number.

These numbers have some distinct properties. The number of numbers after the decimal point is infinite. What this means is that it does not terminate. It keeps on repeating.

Also, these numbers cannot be represented as a ratio of two integers i.e two whole numbers. This is because they keep on going without termination.

Lastly is that these numbers do not repeat after decimal. What I mean by this is that they do not keep repeating a particular number after the decimal point. For example in cases like 2.33333; these are infinite too, but they can be represented by the ratio of two whole numbers and in such cases, they are not irrational in their own respect

nydimaria [60]
This equals [f(3) - f(1)]  / [3-1]

=  3^2 + 6(3) + 10 - (1^2 + 6(1) + 10)  / 2

=   (37 - 17) / 2
