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 0.09 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 5.76 kWh and the mean is 16.6 kWh per day. If they are using a 98% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 3851 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 2.327.

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.

Variance is 5.76 kWh

This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{5.76} = 2.4[/tex]

They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.09 kWh. How large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity?

This is n for which M = 0.09. So

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

[tex]0.09 = 2.327\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.09\sqrt{n} = 2.327*2.4[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*2.4}{0.09}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327*2.4}{0.09})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 3850.6[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 3851 is required.

y'' = 9C₁ exp(3x) + C₂ (6 exp(3x) + 9x exp(3x))

What is Graph?

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.

The equation y = x - 13 represents a transformation of the graph of y = x. To find the type of  transformation, we have to compare the two equations and look for changes.

In the equation y = x - 13, we subtract 13 from the value of x.

This means that the graph of y = x is shifted 13 units downwards,

since every point on the graph has 13 subtracted from its y-coordinate.

Hence,  It is the graph of y = x translated 13 units down is the statement describes a transformation of the graph of y=x.

Answers

Answer:

Given E(t)=1100(100-t)+580(100-t)^2

Put t = 99.5, we get

E(99.5)=1100(100-99.5)+580(100-99.5)^2

E(99.5)=1100(0.5)+580(0.5)^2

E(99.5)=1100(0.5)+580(0.25)

E(99.5)=550+145

E(99.5)=695m

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be concluded that -

E(99.5) = 695

E(100) = 0

What is expression?

In mathematics, an expression or mathematical expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.

Mathematical symbols can designate numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping to help determine order of operations and other aspects of logical syntax.

Given is the function as follows -

E(t) = 1100(100 - t) + 580(100 - t)²

The given function is -

E(t) = 1100(100 - t) + 580(100 - t)²

At → E(99.5)

E(99.5) = 1100(100 - t) + 580(100 - t)²

E(99.5) = 1100(100 - 99.5) + 580(100 - 99.5)²

E(99.5) = 1100(0.5) + 580(0.5)²

E(99.5) = 550 + 145

E(99.5) = 695

At → E(100)

E(100) = 1100(100 - t) + 580(100 - t)²

E(100) = 1100(100 - 100) + 580(100 - 100)²

E(100) = 0

Therefore, it can be concluded that -

E(99.5) = 695

Answers

Answer:

Storage solution;  deionized water; stabilizes

Step-by-step explanation:

A pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.

In chemistry, pH literally means the power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution; thus, specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of any chemical solution.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by the formula;

[tex] pH = -log_{10}(H^{+}) [/tex]

On a pH scale, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic and it's basic (alkaline) when it's pH is above 7.

A pH meter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for the measurement of the hydrogen-ion concentration in water-based solutions, in order to determine their level of acidity or alkanility.

As a general rule, when using a pH meter to take a measurement, you should keep it in a storage solution until it is needed. Also, a deionized water should be used to rinse the pH meter and gently pat dry.

Furthermore, the pH meter should be placed in a given sample solution and a reading of the measurement taken when the pH of the solution stabilizes

When taking a measurement with a pH meter, keep the instrument in the storage solution until it is needed. Rinse the pH meter with distilled water and gently pat dry.

The pH meter has been the instrument used for the measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in a sample. The instrument has consisted of a probe that has been placed in the storage medium when it is not in use.

The working procedure of the pH meter has required the washing of pH meter with the distilled water and properly removing the excess water from the probe by pat dry.

The probe has been immersed in the sample and the pH has been recorded. After the experiment, the instrument has been again washed with the distilled water and get stored in the storage solution.

f(x)=(x-1)^2+5 with domain x>1 and range y>5 has inverse g(x)=sqrt(x-5)+1 with domain x>5 and range y>1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a parabola when graphed. It is in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is vertex and a tells us if it's reflected or not or if it's stretched. The thing we need to notice is the vertex because if we cut the graph with a vertical line here the curve will be one to one. So the vertex is (1,5). Let's restrict the domain so x >1.

* if x>1, then x-1>0.

* Also since the parabola opens up, then y>5.

So let's solve y=(x-1)^2+5 for x.

Subtract 5 on both sides:

y-5=(x-1)^2

Take square root of both sides:

Plus/minus sqrt(y-5)=x-1

We want x-1>0:

Sqrt(y-5)=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

Sqrt(y-5)+1=x

Swap x and y:

Sqrt(x-5)+1=y

x>5

y>1

Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 10 more days to finish the job than the other worker

Answers

Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.

How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?

let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

then

(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)

let the completed job = 1

A typical shared work equation

7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1

multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have

7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)

7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t

15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t

form a quadratic equation on the right

0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60

t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0

Factor easily to

(t-12) (t+5) = 0

the positive solution is all we want here

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

then

the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.

Answer:7 + 17 = 24÷2 (since there are 2 workers) =12. Also, ½(7) + ½17 = 3.5 + 8.5 = 12. So, we know that the faster worker will take 7 days and the slower worker will take 17 days. Hope this helps! jul15
