As part of an environmental impact study, a power company wants to estimate the difference in mean water temperature between the discharge of its plant and the offshore waters. How many sample measurements must be taken at each site to estimate the true difference between means to within .2°C with 95% confidence? Assume that the standard deviation in readings is about 1.5°C at each site and the same number of readings will be taken at each site.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, it is found that 217 sample measurements should be taken at each site.

The margin of error of a z-confidence interval is given by:

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

In which:

z is the critical value. [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the population standard deviation. n is the sample size.

The first step is finding the critical value, which is z with a p-value of [tex]\frac{1 + \alpha}{2}[/tex], in which [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the confidence level.

In this problem, [tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], thus, z with a p-value of [tex]\frac{1 + 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], which means that it is z = 1.96.

Estimate of the standard deviation of 1.5, thus, [tex]\sigma = 1.5[/tex].

We want the sample for a margin of error of 0.2ºC, thus, we have to solve for n when [tex]M = 0.2[/tex].

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

[tex]0.2 = 1.96\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.2\sqrt{n} = 1.96(1.5)[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96(1.5)}{0.2}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96(1.5)}{0.2})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 216.1[/tex]

Rounding up:

217 sample measurements should be taken at each site.

Matthew borrows $200, agreeing to pay it back with a 6% annual interest after 20 months. How much interest will she pay?

Answers

Answer:

$20.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

convert R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 6%/100 = 0.06 per year.

Putting time into years for simplicity,

20 months / 12 months/year = 1.666667 years.

sol.

A = 200(1 + (0.06 × 1.666667)) = 220.000004

A = $220.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $200.00 at a rate of 6% per year for 1.666667 years (20 months) is $220.00.

Interest: $20.00

When you have a lot of the same kind of problem to solve, it makes a certain amount of sense to let a spreadsheet do it. You can enter the formulas once, and then all you need to do is supply the different data for the different problems.

Here, we can put the equations into standard form, then use Cramer's Rule to solve them. For the two equations ...

ax +by = cdx +ey = g

we can define ...

  D = (ae -db)

Then the values of x and y are ...

  x = (ce -gb)/D

  y = (ag -dc)/D

The attached spreadsheet implements these equations to find the values of x and y.

__

The second equation of the 2nd Question is not given in standard form. To put it into standard form, we need to subtract 4y from both sides:

  x -4y = -5

Many graphing calculators have matrix functions that will solve sets of linear equations, too. For those, you can use the function that puts the coefficient matrix into Reduced Row-Echelon Form. Often that function is named RREF( ), as it is on my TI-84 and HP-48 calculators. The input coefficient matrix will look like ...

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&c\\d&e&g\end{array}\right][/tex]

and the output matrix will look like ...

  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&\text{x-value}\\0&1&\text{y-value}\end{array}\right][/tex]

Effectively, the equations are solved by "elimination." If the calculator shows [0 0 0] in the bottom row of output, it means the equations are dependent and there are infinite solutions. If it shows [0 0 1], the equations are inconsistent, and there are no solutions.

Answers

Your Answer will be: $134.71

Answer:

$134.71

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

A = Amount after t months or years

P = Principal or amount saved

r = interest rate = 5.18% = 0.0518

t = time.in years = 18 months

= 1 year and 6 month

= 1.5 year

A = $125( 1 + 0.0518 × 1.5)

A = $125 ( 1 + 0.0777)

A = $125(1.0777)

A = $134.71

We know that the circle intersects the x-axis at [tex](8, 0)[/tex]. Therefore the radius of the circle is the distance between these points, in this case [tex]8-1=7[/tex].

We solve the triangle using pythagoras' theorem.

What is pythagoras' theorem?

Pythagoras' theorem states that in any right angled triangle with sides a, b and hypotenuse side, c which is the longest side, the square of the hypotenuse side equal the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

So, according to Pythagoras' theorem,

c² = a² + b²

The required equations

Since we have three right angled triangles, in the smallest right angled triangle, we have

z² = y² + 3²  (1)

In the next larger right angled triangle, we have

x² = y² + 27² (2)

In the largest right angled triangle, we have

(3 + 27)² = z² + x²

30² = z² + x² (3)

Substituting (2) into (3), we have

30² = z² + x²

30² = z² + y² + 27²

30² - 27² = z² + y²

900 - 729 = z² + y²

171 = z² + y²

z² = 171 - y² (4)

Equating (1) and (4), we have

y² + 3² = 171 - y²

y² + 9 = 171 - y²

y² + y² = 171 + 9

2y² = 180

y² = 180/2

y² = 90

The measure of z

Substituting y² into (1), we have

z² = y² + 3²

z² = 90 + 9

z² = 99

z = √99

z = 3√11

So, the measure of z is 3√11

Plot the graph of the linear equation. 3x-2y=6

Answers

Answer:

First point : (0, -3)

Second point : (2, 0)

Y-intercept : -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To tackle a question like this, the first thing you want to do is put the equation into y = mx + b form.

1.) 3x - 2y = 6

2.) -2y = -3x + 6 (bring 3x to the other side, using inverse operations)

3.) y = 1.5x - 3 (divide -2 on both sides, to isolate the variable y)

Now that you have the y-intercept (-3), you have your y value. Finally, just substitute the variable y from the original equation to solve for the x value.

1.) 3x - 2(-3) = 6

2.) 3x + 6 = 6 (multiply (-2) and (-3))

3.)3x = 0 (subtract 6 on both sides using inverse operations)

4.) x = 0

Now you have your first point which is (0, -3)!

To get your last point, just substitute your y coordinate from the original equation to get x.

1.) 3x - 2(0) = 6

2.) 3x - 0 = 6

3.) 3x = 6

4.) x = 2

Then, substitute the x coordinate from above in the original equation to get the y coordinate.

1.) 3(2) - 2y = 6

2.) 6 - 2y = 6

3.) -2y = 0

4.) y = 0

Second coordinate : (2, 0)
