The Rocky Mountain News (January 24, 1994) indicated that the 20-year mean snowfall in the Denver/Boulder region is 28.76 inches with standard deviation of 7.5 inches. However, for the winter of 1993-1994, the average snowfall for a sample of 32 different locations was 33 inches. Required:
Does this indicate thatthe snowfall for the 1993-1994 winters has higher than the previous20-year average?

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
