Use this table of values for the rate of rainfall over time.
Rate of Rainfall (mm per hour) Time 6:00 am 20 6.15 am 28 630 am 3.0 645 am 35 7:00 am 3.8 7:15 am 42 7:30 am 4.8 7:45 am 5.6 8:00 am 4.0 8.15 am 3.3 8:30 am 1.8 8:45 am 0.4 9:00 am 1.2.
An approximation of the total amount of rainfall that falls between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. using a midpoint sum with 6 equal subintervals is
a. 9.3 mm.
b. 9.6 mm.


Sagot :

Solution :

Here the subintervals of equal length will be :

[tex][6:00, 6:30], [6:30, 7:00], [7:00, 7:30], [7:30, 8:00], [8:00, 8:30], [8:30, 9:00][/tex]

So thee mid points are

[tex]x_1 = 6:15, \ x_2=6:45, \ x_3=7:15, \ x_4=7:45, \ x_5, 8:15, \ x_6 = 8:45[/tex]

The length of each sub-interval is = [tex]\frac{9-6}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = 0.5[/tex]

So, total amount of rainfall will be :

[tex]$=0.5 \sum^6_{i=1} f(x_i)$[/tex]

[tex]$=0.5\left( f(x_1)+f(x_2)+....+ f(x_6)\right)$[/tex]

= 0.5 (2.8 + 3.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 + 3.3 + 0.4)

= 0.5 (19.8)

= 9.9

The total amount of rainfall that falls between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. using a midpoint sum with 6 equal subintervals is 9.9.

Given that,

The rate of rainfall (mm per hour) over time.

Rate of rainfall;

6;00 6;15 6;30 6;45 7;00 7;15 7;30 7;45 8;00 8;15 8;30 8;45 9;00

Time  

2.0  2.8   3.0   3.5    3.8    4.2   4.8   5.6   4.0   3.3   1.8  0.4   1.2  

We have to determine,

0.4 9:00 am 1.2.

The total amount of rainfall that falls between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. using a midpoint sum with 6 equal subintervals is?

According to the question,

Rate of rainfall;

6;00 6;15 6;30 6;45 7;00 7;15 7;30 7;45 8;00 8;15 8;30 8;45 9;00

Time  

2.0  2.8   3.0   3.5    3.8    4.2   4.8   5.6   4.0   3.3   1.8  0.4   1.2  

Here, the midpoints sum with 6 equal subintervals are,

[tex]\rm x_1 = 6;15, \ x _2 = 6;45, \ x_3 = 7;15, \ x_4 = 7;45, x_5 = 8;15 , \ x_6 = 8;45[/tex]

Then, the length of each subinterval is,

[tex]= \dfrac{9-6}{6}\\\\= \dfrac{3}{6}\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The total amount of rainfall that falls between 6;00 to 9;00 am using the midpoint subinterval is,

[tex]\rm = \dfrac{1}{2} \sum^{6}_{i=0} f(x_i)\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2} \sum^{6}_{i=0} f(x_1)+ f(x_2) + f(x_3) + f(x_4) +f(x_5)+f(x_6)\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2} (2.8+ 3.5+4.2+ 5.6+3.3+0.4}\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 19.8\\\\= 9.9[/tex]

Hence, The total amount of rainfall that falls between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. using a midpoint sum with 6 equal subintervals is 9.9.
