<h3>Answer: 155 inches</h3>

This is equivalent to approximately 12.917 feet.

===================================================

Work Shown:

(10 inches)/(2 days) = (x inches)/(31 days)

10/2 = x/31

10*31 = 2*x ... cross multiply

310 = 2x

2x = 310

x = 310/2

x = 155

Keep in mind that this water is being drained on a fairly continuous basis. This means that not all of the water is sticking around (we'd hope not anyway) at the same moment in time.

Note: 155 inches = 155/12 = 12.917 feet approximately.

--------------------------

Alternative method:

If the town got 10 inches in 2 days, this means it rains at a unit rate of 10/2 = 5 inches per day.

Multiply that by 31 days and we get 5*31 = 155 inches of total rain.

Answer:

The sample size is  n = 451

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The margin of error is  E = 0.03

    The sample proportion is  \^ p = 0.12

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

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

=>   n = [\frac{1.96}{0.03} ]^2 *0.12 (1 - 0.12 )

=>   n = 451

What is the slope of the line y+4 = 3(x+6)
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you gotta take the equation and bring it to the following form:

y = ax + b

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x, a.

In other words:

y + 4 = 3(x + 6) \\ y + 4 = 3x + 18  \\ y = 3x + 18 - 4 \\ y = 3x + 14

So, as we can see, the number infront of x is 3. That is to say that the slope of this line is equal to 3.
