Answer:

296.693\leq x\leq 319.307

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean x can be calculated as:

x'-z_{\alpha /2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } \leq x\leq x'+z_{\alpha /2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

Where x' is the sample mean, s is the population standard deviation, n is the sample size and z_{\alpha /2} is the z-score that let a proportion of \alpha /2 on the right tail.

\alpha is calculated as: 100%-99%=1%

So, z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576

Finally, replacing the values of x' by 308, s by 17, n by 15 and z_{\alpha /2} by 2.576, we get that the confidence interval is:

308-2.576\frac{17}{\sqrt{15} } \leq x\leq 308+2.576\frac{17}{\sqrt{15} }\\308-11.307 \leq x\leq 308+11.307\\296.693\leq x\leq 319.307

A watering can dispenses water at the rate of 0.3 gallon per minute. The original volume of water in the can was 7 gallons. Whic
Rudiy27

Answer:

A. {(1, 6.7), (2, 6.4), (3, 6.1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The watering can dispenses water at a rate of 0.3 gallon per minute and the original volume of water in the can was 7 gallons.

Let y represent the volume of water in the can in gallons

Let x represent time in minutes

f(x) = y = 7 – 0.3(x)

When x = 1,

y = 7 – 0.3(1)

= 7 – 0.3

= 6.7

The pair will be (1, 6.7)

When x = 2,

y = 7 – 0.3(2)

= 7 – 0.6

= 6.4

The pair will be (2, 6.4)

When x = 3,

y = 7 – 0.3(3)

= 7 – 0.9

= 6.1

The pair will be (3, 6.1)

The set of ordered pairs shows the volume of water in the can in gallons (y) as a function of time in minutes (x) from the first minute after the can starts dispensing water is {(1, 6.7), (2, 6.4), (3, 6.1)}

Rearrange the equation so u is the independent variable.<br><br> -12u + 13 = 8w - 3 <br><br> w = __
deff fn [24]

Answer: w = -3u/2  +  2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12u + 13 = 8w - 3

-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3

-12u + 16 = 8w

w = -3u/2   +   2

a store light flashes every 60 minutes while another light flashes open every 24 minutesif both stores begin flashing at 10 am w
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Both lights flash at 1:00

Step-by-step explanation:

they flash together every 2*7=14 minutes

in 60 minutes there are 4*14=56 minutes

they flash together at 1:56

more minutes brings you to 2:00

they flash together at 2:10 (4+10=14)

that leaves 50 minutes left in the hour

they flash three times which uses up 42 minutes

this brings you to 2:52 (10+42=52)

8 more minutes brings you to 3:00

in 6 more minutes (8+6=14) it will be 3:06 and they will flash together
