Two large and 1 small pumps can fill a swimming pool in 4 hours. One large and 3 small pumps can also fill the same swimming poo

kolezko [41]

Let x and y be the unit rates at which one large pump and one small pump works, respectively.

Two large/one small operate at a unit rate of

(1 pool)/(4 hours) = 0.25 pool/hour

so that

2x + y = 0.25

One large/three small operate at the same rate,

(1 pool)/(4 hours) = 0.25 pool/hour

x + 3y = 0.25

Solve for x and y. We have

y = 0.25 - 2x ==> x + 3 (0.25 - 2x) = 0.25

==> x + 0.75 - 6x = 0.25

==> 5x = 0.5

==> x = 0.1

==> y = 0.25 - 2 (0.1) = 0.25 - 0.2 = 0.05

In other words, one large pump alone can fill a 1/10 of a pool in one hour, while one small pump alone can fill 1/20 of a pool in one hour.

Now, if you have four each of the large and small pumps, they will work at a rate of

4x + 4y = 4 (0.1) + 4 (0.05) = 0.6

meaning they can fill 3/5 of a pool in one hour. If it takes time t to fill one pool, we have

(3/5 pool/hour) (t hours) = 1 pool

==> t = (1 pool) / (3/5 pool/hour) = 5/3 hours

So it would take 5/3 hours, or 100 minutes, for this arrangement of pumps to fill one pool.

Find the minimum sample size needed to estimate the percentage of Democrats who have a sibling. Use a 0.1 margin of error, use a

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The minimum sample size is $n =135$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The confidence interval is $( lower \ limit = \ 0.44,\ \ \ upper \ limit = \ 0.51)$

The margin of error is $E = 0.1$

Generally the sample proportion can be mathematically evaluated as

$\r p = \frac{ upper \ limit + lower \ limit }{2}$

$\r p = \frac{ 0.51 + 0.44}{2}$

$\r p = 0.475$

Given that the confidence level is 98% then the level of significance can be mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 98$

$\alpha = 2\%$

$\alpha =0.02$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table

The value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.33$

Generally the minimum sample size is evaluated as

$n =[ \frac { Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \r p (1- \r p )$

$n =[ \frac { 2.33}{0.1} ]^2 * 0.475(1- 0.475 )$

$n =135$

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The general formula for the total surface area of a right prism is T. S. A. =ph+2B where p represents the perimeter of the base, h the height of the prism and B the area of the base.

if height equals 6.72 and width equals to 12.7 and length equals to 5.78,
