A recent survey was conducted to compare the cost of solar energy to the cost of gas or electric energy. Results of the survey revealed that the distribution of the amount of the monthly utility bill of a 3-bedroom house using gas or electric energy had a mean of $93 and a standard deviation of $11. Three solar homes reported monthly utility bills of $56, $54, and $51. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Homes using solar power always have lower utility bills than homes using only gas and electricity.
B. Homes using solar power may have lower utility bills than homes using only gas and electricity.
C. Homes using solar power may actually have higher utility bills than homes using only gas and electricity.
D. The utility bills for homes using solar power are about the same as those for homes using only gas and electricity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Homes using solar power always have lower utility bills than homes using only gas and electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas and Electricity

[tex]\bar x = 93[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 11[/tex]

Solar

Bills: 56, 54 and 51

Required

Determine which of the statements is true

First, we calculate the mean of the given data

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{56 + 54 + 51}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{161}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 53.67[/tex]

Then, the standard deviation

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - x_i)^2}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(56 - 53.67)^2 + (54 - 53.67)^2 + (51 - 53.67)^2}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{12.67}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{4.223}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 2.05[/tex]

So, we have:

Gas or Electricity

[tex]\bar x = 93[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 11[/tex]

Solar

[tex]\bar x = 53.67[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 2.05[/tex]

By comparison.

The mean and standard deviation of homes using solar panel is less than home using gas and electricity.

This implies that: (a) is true.

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters. (a) Determine the proportion of flanges that exceeds 1.00 millimeters. Enter your answer in accordance to the item a) of the question statement (b) What thickness is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

b) A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters.

This means that [tex]a = 0.95, b = 1.05[/tex]

(a) Determine the proportion of flanges that exceeds 1.00 millimeters.

[tex]P(X > 1) = \frac{1.05 - 1}{1.05 - 0.95} = \frac{0.05}{0.1} = 0.5[/tex]

0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

(b) What thickness is exceeded by 90% of the flanges?

This is x for which:

[tex]P(X > x) = 0.9[/tex]

So

[tex]\frac{1.05 - x}{1.05 - 0.95} = 0.9[/tex]

[tex]1.05 - x = 0.9*0.1[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.05 - 0.9*0.1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.96[/tex]

A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

If a square has an area of 25x², write an expression for the length of one side.
:)

Answers

Since all sides of a square are the same, the area of a square is one side squared.

Meaning if a square had a side of 4, the area would be 16 since 4 squared is equal to 16.

The opposite is to square root the area. If you calculate the square root of 16, you get 4.

In this situation, we have to square root "[tex]25x^{2}[/tex]." We can split the area up into "25" and [tex]x^{2}[/tex]. The square root of 25 is 5, and the square root of x squared is just x. Multiply 5 and x together, you get 5x.

Easy as that, you get your answer!

Suppose that 20% of the residents in a certain state support an increase in the property tax. An opinion poll will randomly sample 400 state residents and will then compute the proportion in the sample that support a property tax increase. How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within .04 of the true proportion (i.e., between .16 and .24)

Answers

Answer:

0.9544 = 95.44% probability of the resulting sample proportion being within .04 of the true proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

20% of the residents in a certain state support an increase in the property tax. Sample of 400.

This means that [tex]p = 0.2, n = 400[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

Mean [tex]\mu = p = 0.2[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{400}} = 0.02[/tex]

How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within .04 of the true proportion (i.e., between .16 and .24)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.24 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.16. So

X = 0.24

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.24 - 0.2}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 0.16

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.16 - 0.2}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

0.9544 = 95.44% probability of the resulting sample proportion being within .04 of the true proportion

Area= radius squared we have a diameter so since the radius is half of a diameter we need to have 1.8 which is 0.9 then we would square 0.9 and times it by pi since its now a radius
=0.9 squared times pi

hope it helps you ❣️

Answer:

10.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be represented with x.

Increase by 5% = 5% of x = 5/100 x X = 0.05x

So, the next number = x + 0.05x = 1.05x

Increase again by 5% = 5% of 1.05x = 5/100

x1.05x = 0.05 x 1.05x = 0.0525

So, the current number = 1.05x + 0.0525x =1.1025x

[tex] \frac{1.1025x - x}{x} = 0.1025 \times 100 = 10.25\%[/tex]
