One data is missing. You need the volume of the pool or some data that permit you to calculate this volume.

The same statement given by you is part of a problem where you know a series of data that shows the time required to fill the pool at different flow rates:

flow rate              time
60 gal/h               300 h => 60 gal/h * 300 h = 18,000 gal
45 gal/h               400 h => 45 gal/h * 400 h = 18,000 gal
36 gal/h               500 h => 36 gal/h * 500 h = 18,000 gal
30 gal/h               600 h => 30 gal/h * 600 h = 18,000 gal


So for, this pool to calculated (several times) that the volume is 18,000 gal.

Now you have two hoses one with a flow rate of 40 gal / h and the other with a  flow rate of 60 gal/h.

The total flow rate is the sum of the two flow rates"

total flow rate = 40 gal/h + 60 gal/h = 100 gal/h

And you just must divide the volume of the pool (18,000 gal) by the total flow rate (100 gal/h) to get the time to fill the pool:

time = volume / flow rate = 18,000 gal / 100 gal/h = 180 h.

Answer: 180h

What is the equation of the line in the slope intercept form
Grace [21]

Answer:

<em>Equation of line; y = - 6x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see from this graph, point ( 0, 0 ) lying on this graph intersects the y - axis such that it forms a y - intercept of 0;

At the same time we can note that the change in y / change in x, in other words the slope, differs by a rise of 6 / run of - 1, 6 / - 1 being a slope of - 6;

If this equation is in slope - intercept form ⇒

y = a * x + b, where a ⇒ slope, and b ⇒ y - intercept,

<em>Equation of line; y = - 6x</em>

Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below. A. One has 90​% confidence
poizon [28]

Answer:

B. <em>There is a 90​% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A. <em>One has 90​% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion. </em>

Confidence interval gives an interval estimate, not an equality

B. <em>There is a 90​% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound. </em>

<em>Ture. </em>

<em>C.</em><em> One has 90​% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion. </em>

Also true but <em>One has 90​% confidence is not good interpretation. </em>

<em>D</em><em>. 90​% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.</em>

<em>Lower bound and upper bound is given to estimate population proportion. </em>
