The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the standard deviation is 2 gallons and the mean is 16 gallons per day. If they are using a 95% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 784 is required to estimate the mean usage of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation is 2 gallons

This means that [tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]

They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. How large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

This is n for which M = 0.14. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14 = 1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.96*2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*2}{0.14}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*2}{0.14})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 784[/tex]

A sample of 784 is required to estimate the mean usage of water.

C = 0 in this case

B = pi / 3

The period is given by the formula

P = 2 * pi / B

P = 2 * pi//pi/3

The 2 pis cancel and you are left with 2*3 = 6

The polynomial p(x) = x3 – 7x - 6 has a known factor of (x + 1).
Rewrite p(x) as a product of linear factors.
p(x)

Answers

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{(x -3)(x + 2)(x + 1)}[/tex]

We can use long division to find the other roots of p(x).

We know that x + 1 is a factor, so:

Set up:

Find how many times that the first term in the divisor goes into the first of the dividend. Subtract from like terms.

         x² - x - 6

x + 1 | x³ + 0x² - 7x - 6

         x³ + x²

         0 - x²     - 7x

            - x²      - x

             0        - 6x - 6

                        -6x - 6

                          0     0

Therefore, x² - x - 6 is another factor. We can factor this further:

Find two numbers that add up to -1 and multiply into -6. We get:

-3, 2

(x - 3)(x + 2)

The entire polynomial factored is:

(x -3)(x + 2)(x + 1)

In a certain country people own a total of about 352 million fish, cats, and dogs as pets. The number of fish owned is 14 million more than the total number of cats
and dogs owned, and 11 million more cats are owned than dogs. How many of each type of pet do people in this country own?

Answers

Answer:

dogs = 79

dats = 90

fish = 183

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of dogs owned be x

no. of cats owned = x+11

no. of fish owned = x+11+x+14= 2x+25

hence,

2x+25+x+11+x=352

4x=316

x=316/4= 79mil

no. of cats owned = 79 + 11 = 90

no. of fish owned = 2(79)+25=183

Explanation:

There are a lot of data values here, and it's possible to easily get lost in them. However, we're asked only about students with blond hair. So we only focus on the first row. Ignore everything else.

We see that there are 78 of these students total. Of this total, 21 have green eyes.

Therefore, the relative frequency of blonds with green eyes is 21/78 = 0.2692 which rounds to 0.27; so that's why the answer is choice B.

Canada has a population of 33 million while Russia has 144 million inhabitants. Indonesia population is 50% greater then that of Russia while it is only 72% of the population of the United States. How many million people must be added to the United States so that the population of that country becomes 10 times of Canada?

Answers

Answer: 30 million people must be added.

Step-by-step explanation: 50% of 144 million is 72 million. You add these to find Indonesia’s population. 144 million + 72 million= 216 million. If 216 million is only 72% of the US population, then divide 216 million by 72 to find 1%. 216 million/72=3 million. Multiply this by 100 to find the US population. 3 million times 100= 300 million. Now, multiply Canada’s population by 10. 33 million times 10= 330 million. Finally, subtract 300 million from 330 million to find the amount needed to make the US population 10 times that of Canada’s. 330 million-300 million=30 million. So , you need 30 million people in order to make the US population 10 times that of Canada’s.
