Flow meters are installed in urban sewer systems to measure the flows through the pipes. In dry weatherconditions (no rain) the

flows are generated by waste-water from households and industries, together withsome possible drainage from water stored in the topsoil from previous rainfalls. In a study of an urbansewer system, the following values were obtained for flowrates during dry weather conditions:
423.6, 487.3, 453.2, 402.9, 483.0, 477.7, 442.3, 418.4, 459.0

Assume that the flow rates are normally distributed.

a. Construct a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the standard deviation of the flow rate under dry weather conditions.
b. Explain, only using words, the meaning of the CI you determined in (a).

Answer:

a) \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}

363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56

b) For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

Step-by-step explanation:

423.6, 487.3, 453.2, 402.9, 483.0, 477.7, 442.3, 418.4, 459.0

Part a

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}

On this case we need to find the sample standard deviation with the following formula:

s=sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^8 (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}
And in order to find the sample mean we just need to use this formula:
[tex]\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}

The sample deviation for this case is s=30.23

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=9-1=8

The Confidence interval is 0.98 or 98%, the value of \alpha=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01, and the critical values are:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=20.09

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=1.65

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

\frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}

363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56

Part b

For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

The rectangle has length 8 cm and area 48 cm2.
marishachu [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

length of rectangle(l)= 8cm

area of rectangle(A) = 48cm2

breadth of rectangle(b) = ?

Perimeter of rectangle (P)=?

We know ,

Area of rectangle(A) = l×b

or, 48cm2 = 8cm×b

or, 48cm2 = 8bcm

or, 48cm2/8cm = b

or, 6cm = b

or, b = 6cm

therefore, b = 6cm

Perimeter of rectangle (P) = 2(l+b)

= 2(8cm+6cm)

= 2×14cm

= 28cm

therefore, Perimeter of rectangle(P) = 28cm

Now,

According to the question,

Perimeter of rectangle(P) = Perimeter of square(P)

So,

Perimeter of square(P) = 28cm

length of square(l) = ?

Area of square (A) = ?

We know,

Perimeter of square (P) = 4l

or, 28cm = 4l

or, 28cm/4 = l

or, 7cm = l

or, l = 7cm

therefore, l = 7cm

Now,

Area of square (A) = l^2

= (7cm)^2

= 7cm×7cm

= 49cm^2

therefore, area of square (A)= 49cm^2

Help will mark brainliest answer
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer : 110 degree

To find angle 1 , we apply outside angle theorem  Lets name each point  Measurement of arc EF=280 degrees  

Measurement of arc GH = 60

Angle D = angle 1

Please refer to the theorem attached below  

angle D = \frac{arc(EF)-arc(GH)}{2}

Now we plug in the values

angle 1 = \frac{280-60}{2}

angle 1 = 110

Measurement of angle 1 = 110 degrees

A shipment of 105 Otter box covers for I-phones has arrived. The total invoice (excluding tax, shipping, etc.) is $3,849.75.
bezimeni [28]
<span>3,849.75 </span>÷ 49.95 = 77 (Calculator)

Sense you would like it explained than the question is asking how many otter box Defender Covers where shipped in that price. So when you have that they want the amount of Otter Box Defenders than you divide the amount paid for the shipment with the amount of the otter box defender price.

I hope this is helpful.
