9) Recalculate standard error: 10 ) Recalculate upper confidence limit with a t0.95 for two degrees of freedom (sample size of 3, minus 1): UCL = 2.44 + 2.92(0.02) = 2.50 11 ) Recalculate represented value: 2.50 / 1.05 = 2.38
Sample mean is 2.44
Per 429.29(2), the represented value shall be no less than the higher of these two values. In this case, it is the sample mean of 2.44. Round to one decimal place 2.4 This value is compliant with DOE standards and may be used as the rated value of water consumption for this basic model. Alternatively, the manufacturer may conservatively rate it at 2.5. NOTE: for metering faucets, the final represented value of water consumption is rounded to two decimal places. For all other faucets and all showerheads, the final represented value of water consumption is rounded to one decimal place. (per 10 CFR 430, Subpart B, Appendix S)
