The electric cooperative needs to know the mean household usage of electricity by its non-commercial customers in kWh per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.12 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the standard deviation is 1.2 kWh and the mean is 17.9 kWh per day. If they are using a 90% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample size of at least 271 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Maxium error of 0.12.

How large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity?

We need a sample size of at least n.

n is found when [tex]M = 0.12, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]

So

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.12 = 1.645*\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.12\sqrt{n} = 1.645*1.2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*1.2}{0.12}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.645*1.2}{0.12})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 270.6[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample size of at least 271 is required.

There are five families that each have one child. Each of them hires Riley as a babysitter. Because the children she babysits are different ages, Riley charges each family a different amount. To visualize her earnings, Riley recorded and plotted her pay from each job. Using the scatterplot, calculate her average rate of pay.

Answers

Answer:

Average Rate of Pay = $ 5.23 /hr

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a data in form of Hours of Baby Sitting and Amount of Pay. Since the Amount of pay depends upon the Hours of Baby Sitting. Thus, we take y = Amount of Pay, while x = Hours of Baby Sitting. So, the data becomes:

x (Hours) =   12      13      16      17       20

y ($)         =  54     56     65     64     100  

The statistical data calculated is:

∑x = 78,   ∑x² = 1258,   ∑y = 339,  ∑xy = 5504,   n = no. of data points = 5

Now, we use linear regression model to fit a straight line to this data.

y = a + bx   --------- eqn (1)

where,

b = [ n∑xy - ∑x.∑y]/[n∑x² -(∑x)²]

b = [ (5)(5504) - (78)(339)]/[(5)(1258) - (78)²]

b = 5.23

and,

a = (∑xy - b∑x²)/∑x

a = [5504 - (5.23)(1258)]/78

a = -13.83

Therefore, eqn (1) becomes:

y = -13.83 + 5.23x

The graph plot of this straight line fit is provided in the attachments.

Now, we derivate the equation with respect to x, to get the average rate of pay:

Average Rate of Pay = dy/dx = d/dx(-13.83 + 5.23x)

Average Rate of Pay = $ 5.23 /hr

Line p passes through (8, -6) and is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = -7. The slope of line p is . The equation of line p is y = 1/2x + ?.

Answers

Answer:

y = (1/2) x -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are lines make right angles. The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals !

2x + y = -7 rewrite in form y=

y = -7 -2x

slope of this line is -2

perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals so the line p has a slope = 1/2

line p passes through (8, -6) so plug in point into equation of p and get ?

y = 1/2 x +?

-6 =1/2(8) +?

-6 =4 + ? subtract 4 from both sides

-6-4 = ?

-10 = ?

y = (1/2) x -10

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 17) and
(7.25)?

Answers

Assuming you meant to put (7,25), then the answer m = 2.
m is the slope of the line.

The slope is equal to the change in Y divided by the change in X, or rise over run.
So in each parentheses there’s an X part ( the first number before comma, in this case, that would be either 3 or 7) and a Y part ( the number after the comma, in this case, 17 or 25).

Here’s how to solve it:

m = (y2- y1)/(x2-x1)

m = 25 -(17)/7-(3)

m = 8/4

which you can simplify to

m = 2

A rhombus has side lengths of 25. What could be the lengths of the diagonals?

A. 22 and 40
B. 26 and 36
C. 26 and 48
D. 30 and 40

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 30 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have that the rhombus is a quadrilateral with equal and parallel sides hence the length of the diagonals will be

2 × 25×sinθ  and 2 × 25× cosθ

Therefore tanθ = (2 × 25×sinθ)/(2 × 25× cosθ) = (sinθ)/(cosθ)

Therefore, the root of the sum squares of both diagonals = 50

Therefore, we analyze each of the options as follows

For A. we have √(22² + 40²) = 45.65 ≠ 50 therefore these are not the length of diagonals of the rhombus in question

For B. we have √(26² + 36²) = 44.41 ≠ 50 therefore these are not the length of diagonals of the rhombus in question

For C. we have √(26² + 48²) = 55.59 ≠ 50 therefore these are not the length of diagonals of the rhombus in question

For D. we have √(30² + 40²) = 50 therefore these are possible lengths of diagonals of the rhombus in question.

Find the distance between (-10,12) and (-6,-14). Round to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer:

26.31 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points [tex](-10,12),(-6,-14)[/tex]

To find: Distance between the given points

Solution:

Let [tex](x_1,y_1)=(-10,12)\,,\,(x_2,y_2)=(-6,-14)[/tex]

The distance formula is used to find the distance between two points [tex](x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)[/tex]

According to distance formula,

Distance = [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(-6+10)^2+(-14-12)^2}\\ =\sqrt{16+676}\\ =\sqrt{692}\\ =26.31[/tex]

If a pair of goggles is returned within the first 10 days after the sale, the probability that the goggles returned are of type B is

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{14}{29}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(A) be the probability that goggle of type A is manufactured

P(B) be the probability that goggle of type B is manufactured

P(E) be the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

According to the question,

P(A) = 30%

P(B) = 70%

P(E/A) is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type A.

P(E/B) is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type B.

[tex]P(A \cap E)[/tex] will be the probability that a goggle is of type A and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

[tex]P(B \cap E)[/tex] will be the probability that a goggle is of type B and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

[tex]P(E \cap A) = P(A) \times P(E/A)[/tex]

[tex]P(E \cap A) = \dfrac{30}{100} \times \dfrac{5}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap A) = 1.5 \%[/tex]

[tex]P(E \cap B) = P(B) \times P(E/B)[/tex]

[tex]P(E \cap B) = \dfrac{70}{100} \times \dfrac{2}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap B) = 1.4 \%[/tex]

[tex]P(E) = 1.5 \% + 1.4 \% \\P(E) = 2.9\%[/tex]

If a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase, probability that it was of type B:

[tex]P(B/E) = \dfrac{P(E \cap B)}{P(E)}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1.4 \%}{2.9\%}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{14}{29}[/tex]

So, the required probability is [tex]\dfrac{14}{29}.[/tex]

The length of a side of the square is 10 cm.

What is a length?

Length is defined as the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

The perimeter of rectangle is obtained using the formula

perimeter = 2(length+width)

Perimeter of square is obtained using the formula

perimeter = 4(length of one side)

Length of rectangle is 13 cm.

Width of rectangle is 7 cm.

Then the perimeter of rectangle is obtained as

perimeter = 2(length+width) = 2(13+7) = 2*20=40

Perimeter of square is

The solution is Option A.

The volume of the air in the spherical ball is given by the equation

V = 4π ( 3 )² ( 10 )⁶ cm³

What is a Sphere?

A sphere is symmetrical, round in shape. It is a three dimensional solid, that has all its surface points at equal distances from the center. It has surface area and volume based on its radius. It does not have any faces, corners or edges.

The Surface Area of a Sphere = 4πr²

The Volume of a Sphere = ( 4/3 ) πr³

where r is the radius of the sphere

Given data ,

Let the volume of the sphere be represented as V

Now , the radius of the spherical ball be r

The value of r = 3 ( 10 )² cm

So , the volume of the spherical ball = ( 4/3 ) πr³

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

Volume of the spherical ball V = ( 4/3 ) x π x [ 3 ( 10 )² ]³

On simplifying the equation , we get

Volume of the spherical ball V = ( 4/3 ) x π x ( 3 )³ ( 10 )⁶

Volume of the spherical ball V = 4 x π x ( 3 )² ( 10 )⁶

Therefore , the value of V is 4π ( 3 )² ( 10 )⁶

Hence , the volume of the spherical ball is 4π ( 3 )² ( 10 )⁶
