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

3(9-8x-4x)+8(3x+4)=11
Papessa [141]
3(9 - 8x - 4x) + 8(3x + 4) = 11

3(9 - 12x) + 8(3x + 4) = 11

27 - 36x + 24x + 32 = 11

59 - 12x = 11

-12x = 11 - 59 

-12x = -48

x = 4

hope this helps, God bless!

4 red balls 4 white balls what is the probability of drawing at least 1 red ball if two balls are drawn
vodomira [7]
The probability of drawing exactly one red ball is given by:
P(1\ red\ ball)=\frac{4C1\times4C1}{8C2}=\frac{16}{28}
the probability of drawing two red balls is given by:
P(2\ red\ balls)=\frac{4C2\times4C0}{8C2}=\frac{6}{28}
The probability of drawing at least one red ball is:
P(1 red ball) + P(2 red balls) = 16/28 + 6/28 = 11/14.
 The answer is \ \frac{11}{14}

I need help for brainliest
devlian [24]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>46 cm²</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation

the figure is composed of a square with an isosceles right triangle inside, we find the area of ​​the square and we take away the area of ​​the triangle.

Triangle area = lxl, right-angled triangle area side by side divided by two.

  • square area

8 * 8 = 64cm²

  • Triangle area

6 * 6 : 2 = 18 cm²

Area of the shaded region

64 - 18 = 46 cm²

Which expression shows a sum of five terms? (3 points)
Sav [38]

Answer:

5 + x + 5 + x + x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 4 expressions and we have to determine which expressions shows a sum of five terms.

We use the process of elimination:

5(x + 5)

=5x+25  (distributing 5)

This contains sum of only two terms, <u>eliminate</u>.

5x

It contains only 1 term, <u>eliminate</u>.

5 + x + 5 + x + x

It contains 5 terms 5,x,5,x and x, <u>KEEP</u>!

5.

Only contains 1 term, <u>eliminate</u>.

With this said, were left with:

5 + x + 5 + x + x

Which is the correct answer! :)
