This question s incomplete, the complete question is;

The Watson family and the Thompson family each used their sprinklers last summer. The Watson family's sprinkler was used for 15 hours. The Thompson family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours.

There was a combined total output of 1050 of water. What was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was 55L per hour  

Answer:

The Watson family sprinkler is 40 L/hr while Thompson family sprinkler is 15 L/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

let water p rate for Watson family and the Thompson family sprinklers be represented by x and y respectively

so

x + y = 55  ----------------equ1

x = 55 - y ------------------qu2

also

15x + 30y = 1050

x + 2y = 70 --------------equ3

input equ2 into equ3

(55 - y) + 2y = 70

- y + 2y = 70 - 55

y = 15

input value of y into equ1

x + 15 = 55

x = 55 - 15

x = 40

Therefore, The Watson family sprinkler is 40 L/hr while Thompson family sprinkler is 15 L/hr

A newspaper published an article about a study in which researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 260 vinyl​ glov
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pop 1 n₁ = 260, p₁ = 58% = 0.58

pop 2 n₂ = 260, p₂ = 8% = 0.08

Null hypothesis: p₁ ≤ p₂

Alternative hypothesis: p₁ > p₂

The test statistic : p₁-p₂ / √{p-sample (1 - p-sample) (1/n₁ + 1/n₂)}

where p-sample is sample proportion = p₁n₁ +p₂n₂ / n₁+n₂

Thus, p-sample = 0.58x260 +0.08x260 / 260+260 =150.8+20.8 / 520 = 171.6 / 520 = 0.33.

Thus, the test statistic is (0.58 - 0.08) / √[0.33 (1-0.33) (0.0038+0.0038)

  = 0.5 / √[0.33(0.67) (0.0076)

= 0.5 / √0.00168036

= 0.5 / 0.04099

= 12.20

P = P(Z>12.20) = 1-P(Z≤12.20) at a significance level of 0.1= the p-value is less than the hypothesized thus, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis and concluding that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak than latex gloves.
