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

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -4 and whose leading coefficient is 2
Goryan [66]

Answer:

2x^2+4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written as

f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots

f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)

a is the leading coefficient

f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)

     = 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)

     = 2(x^2 +2x-8)

     = 2x^2 +4x-16

Root of 49

Solutions are 7 and -7

We know that 7 is the square root of 49.

A negative number multiplied by itself gives positive
So -7 is also a square root of 49
