Let's find the rate that the inlet and outlet pipe can fill and empty the reservoirs.  remember that rate*time = work done so if we let the rate of the inlet pipe be i and the outlet pipe be 0 we have
i(24) = 1
o(28) = 1
if you're confused about what the 1 is, it is the number of reservoirs because in the problem, it gives us the time it takes for each pipe to either empty or fill 1 reservoir.  solving for r and t gives us:
i = 1/24 reservoirs/hour
o = 1/28 reservoirs/hour

in the first 6 hours the inlet pipe fills up (1/24)(6) = 1/4 reservoirs and the outlet pipe empties (1/28)(6) = 3/14 reservoirs so to find out how many reservoirs are filled we subtract emptied amount from filled amount:
1/4 - 3/14 = 1/28 reservoirs (note that if the amount emptied is greater than the amount filled you will obtain a negative answer. please just change that negative number to 0 because a negative answer simply means that emptying rate is greater than filling rate so you end up with no water).
now we need to figure out how long it will take to fill up 1 reservoir given we have already filled up 1/28 reservoirs and that the outlet pipe is finally closed.  to put it in simple terms, how long will it take for the inlet pipe to fill up the rest of the 27/28 of the reservoir.  good thing we've already found the rate the inlet pipe fills up reservoirs so we have the equation:
(1/24)t = 27/28
solving for t, we have 23.14 hours.  make sure you remember to add 6 to the answer because the question wants us to include that time in our answer.  doing so gives 29.14 hours.

let me know if you have any questions!

The flow rate of water into the reservoir is 1 reservoir per 24 hours. The flow rate out is one reservoir per 28 hours. For the six hours when the outlet pipe was open, the reservoir was filling at a rate of (1/24) - (1/28) = (7/168) - (6/168) = 1/168 reservoir per hour. Multiplied by 6 hours, this equals a total of 1/28 reservoir during the time the outlet pipe was left open.

The remaining volume of the reservoir will be filled at a rate of 1/24 reservoir per hour. What we need to do, then, is find the number of 1/24 reservoir portions in 27/28 reservoir. (27/28) = (162/168) = (23.142857/24). The entire reservoir, then will take 23.142857 + 6 = 29.142857 hours to fill.

A stone is dropped into a barrel of water and sinks to the bottom. The ball is completely covered by water. By how much does the
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Answer: 5/12 or approx. 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will displace as much water as its volume.

Meaning, the volume of the ball and the volume of the increase in water in the barrel will be equal.

Volume of a sphere:

V_s=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

The radius is half the diameter. The diameter of the sphere is 10, thus:

r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

5^3 = 5*5*5 = 25*5 = 125

V_s=\frac{4}{3} \pi * 5^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi * 125

The volume of a cylinder, which will be the shape of the increase in water, is the following:

V_c=\pi r^2 h

We know the radius r, as we know the diameter.

r=d/2=40/2=20

V_c=\pi r^2 h=\pi h * 20^2 = \pi h * 400

We are looking for the height of the cylinder, h, as that will be the height of the water rise.

Since we know these 2 volumes are the same, we'll set them equal to each other and solve the equation:

V_s = V_c

\frac{4}{3} * 125 * \pi = 400 * h * \pi

We can get rid of pi by dividing both sides by pi:

\frac{4}{3} * 125 = 400 * h

And now divide both sides by 400:

\frac{4}{3} * \frac{125}{400}= h

Just reversing it and putting h to the left:

h = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{125}{400} = \frac{4 * 125}{3 * 400}

I see that I can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

h =\frac{125}{3 * 100}= \frac{125}{300}

I'll now divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25 to simplify the expression:

h=\frac{125}{300} =\frac{125 / 25}{300 / 25} = \frac{5}{12}

Answer: The water rises by 5/12 (five twelfths).

If I want an approximate decimal answer, I can simply run this expression in a calculator:

\frac{5}{12} ≈ 0.416666667 ≈ 0.42

A paint shop stocks 1800 liters of paint 24% of the paint is white. The shops sells 18% of the white paint and 7% of the rest of
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.

24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be

24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.

The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be

1800 - 432 = 1368 litres

The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be

18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.

The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.

This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be

7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.

The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be

77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres

The equation y = 1.55x + 110,419 approximates the total cost, in dollars, of raising a child in the united states from birth to
Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct option is A). $112295.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for approximating the total cost is given to be :

y = 1.55x + 110419 , where x is the annual household's income and y is the total cost in dollars of raising a child in the united states from birth to 17 years

We need to calculate the total cost of raising a child in the united states from birth to 17 years if the annual household's income is given to be $1211

So, for this we will use the given equation and substitute x = 1211 and find the value of y which will be our total cost

⇒ Total cost , y = 1.55 × 1211 + 110419

⇒ y = 1877.05 + 110419

⇒ y = 112296.05 ≈ 112295.05

Hence, The approximate total cost of raising a child from birth to 17 years in a household with a weekly income of $1211 = $112295.05

Therefore, The correct option is A). $112295.05

A shoe manufacturer compared material A and material B for the soles of shoes. Twelve volunteers each got two shoes. The left wa
sveta [45]

Answer:

a) Are dependent since we are mesuring at the same individuals but on different times and with a different method

b) If we see the qq plot we don't have any significant deviation for the values and we don't have any heavy tail so we can conclude that we can approximate the differences with the normal distribution.

c) p_v =P(t_{(12)}>0.969) =0.353

So the p value is higher than the significance level given, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So we can conclude that the mean differences is NOT significantly different from 0 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

The Q-Q plot, or quantile-quantile plot, "is a graphical tool to help us assess if a set of data plausibly came from some theoretical distribution such as a Normal or exponential".

Let put some notation  

x=value for A , y = value for B

A: 379, 378, 328, 372, 325, 304, 356, 309, 354, 318, 355, 392

B: 372, 376, 328, 368, 283, 252, 369, 321, 379, 303, 328, 411

(a) Are the two samples paired or independent? Explain your answer.

Are dependent since we are mesuring at the same individuals but on different times and with a different method

(b) Make a normal QQ plot of the differences within each pair. Is it reasonable to assume a normal population of differences?

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=A_i-B_i and we obtain this:

d: 7,2,0,4,42,52,-13,-12,-25,15,27,-19

In order to do the qqplot we can use the following R code:

d<-c(7,2,0,4,42,52,-13,-12,-25,15,27,-19)

qqnorm(d)

And the graph obtained is attached.

If we see the qq plot we don't have any significant deviation for the values and we don't have any heavy tail so we can conclude that we can approximate the differences with the normal distribution.

(c) Choose a test appropriate for the hypotheses above and justify your choice based on your answers to parts (a) and (b). Perform the test by computing a p-value, make a test decision, and state your conclusion in the context of the problem

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_A- \mu_B = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_A -\mu_B \neq 0

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= \frac{80}{12}=6.67

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =23.849

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{6.67 -0}{\frac{23.849}{\sqrt{12}}}=0.969

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=12-1=11

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{(12)}>0.969) =0.353

So the p value is higher than the significance level given, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So we can conclude that the mean differences is NOT significantly different from 0 .
