A pool contained 32 gallons of water thirty minutes after it began to rain. Twenty minutes later (fifty minutes
after the rain began to fall), the pool contained 40 gallons of water. Assume it rained at a constant rate (in
gallons per minute).
a) Determine the equation of the linear relation (in slope-intercept form) with x = the # of minutes it had been
raining, and y = the # of gallons of water in pool. Sketch the graph.
b)
What do the slope and the y-intercept of your line indicate?
c)
Use your equation to determine how much water the pool will contain two hours after the rain began to fall.
d) Use your equation to determine when the pool will overflow (the pool holds up to 100 gallons).

Basic MathIn a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 282 accurate orders and 57 that were not accurate.
a. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate.
b. Compare the results from part (a) to this 90% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant B: 0.152 <p<0.223. What do you
conclude?
135 <p< 202 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Choose the correct answer below.
****
O A. Since the two confidence intervals overlap, neither restaurant appears to have a significantly different percentage of orders that are not accurate.
OB. The lower confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is higher than the lower confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant A and the upper
confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is also higher than the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant A. Therefore, Restaurant B has
a significantly higher percentage of orders that are not accurate.
OC. Since the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is higher than both the lower and upper confidence limits of the interval for Restaurant A,
this indicates that Restaurant B has a significantly higher percentage of orders that are not accurate.
O D. No conclusion can be made because not enough information is given about the confidence interval for Restaurant B.
