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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation is 2 gallons

This means that

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

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

the naturalist literary movement was an extension of the realist literary movement, a movement that strove to portray life as it really was hope it

step-by-step explanation:

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
