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

Please help
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

<h2>9.2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is:

d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

-4 - 2 = -6  squared = 36

4 - -3 = 7   squared = 49

36 + 49 = 85

\sqrt{85} = about 9.2

I'm always happy to help :)

Find the distance around (perimeter) the figure on the left.<br> The perimeter is ___ in.
Phoenix [80]
4 7/8 = 4 14/16 = 78/16
2 7/16 = 39/16
39/16 + 39/16 + 39/16 + 39/16 = 156/16
78/16 + 78/16 = 156/16
156/16 + 156/16 = 312/16 = 19 8/16 = 19 1/2

Answer: 19 1/2 inches

Write an inequality for x that would give this rectangle a perimeter of at least 300ft
Travka [436]

Answer:

The inequality for x is:

x\geq 142

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of rectangle = 3 ft

Height or length of rectangle = (x+5) ft

Perimeter is at least 300 ft

To write an inequality for x.

Solution:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

⇒ 2l+2w

where l represents length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle.

Plugging in the given values in the formula, the perimeter can be given as:

⇒ 2(x+5)+2(3)

Using distribution:

⇒ 2x+10+6

Simplifying.

⇒ 2x+16

The perimeter is at lest 300 ft. So, the inequality can be given as:

⇒ 2x+16\geq 300

Solving for x

Subtracting both sides by 16.

⇒ 2x+16-16\geq 300-16

⇒ 2x\geq284

Dividing both sides by 2.

⇒ \frac{2x}{2}\geq \frac{284}{2}

⇒ x\geq 142   (Answer)
