2. A small university is trying to monitor its electricity usage. For a random sample of
30 weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays), the student center used an average of 94.26 kilowatt hours (kWh) with standard deviation 43.29. For a random sample of 60 weekdays, (Monday - Friday), the student center used an average of 112.63 kWh with standard deviation 32.07.(Please show work)

a) Test, at the 5% level, if significantly more electricity is used at the student center, on average, on weekdays than weekend days. Remember to check the conditions, identify the hypotheses, define your parameter, find the test statistic, find the p-value, and give a conclusion in context.

b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days. Use two decimal places in your margin of error.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the t-distribution, it is found that:

a) Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that significantly more electricity is used at the student center, on average, on weekdays than weekend days.

b) The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days is (3.56, 33.18).

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is, the subtraction is at most 0, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is difference, that is, the subtraction is positive, hence:

[tex]H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]

The standard errors are given by:

[tex]s_1 = \frac{32.07}{\sqrt{60}} = 4.14[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \frac{43.29}{\sqrt{30}} = 7.9[/tex]

The distribution of the difference has mean and standard deviation given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 112.63 - 94.26 = 18.37[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{4.14^2 + 7.9^2} = 8.92[/tex]

The standard deviation are given for the samples, hence, the t-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{18.37 - 0}{8.92}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.06[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05 and 30 + 60 - 2 = 88 df is [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.66[/tex]

Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that significantly more electricity is used at the student center, on average, on weekdays than weekend days.

Item b:

The interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm t^{\ast}s[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\overline{x} - t^{\ast}s = 18.37 - 1.66(8.92) = 3.56[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + t^{\ast}s = 18.37 + 1.66(8.92) = 33.18[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days is (3.56, 33.18).

2.25

Explanation

2/3 can be made into 4/6 then added to 5/6

Grab 5/6 and add it to 3/4, we do this by making them have the same bottom number (denominator) so we multiply 9/6 (4/6 + 5/6) by 2 (both top and bottom number) so now we have 18/12 + 4/6 so now we can make 4 be 12 by multiplying it by 3, but we need to do that to the top number as well to make it balanced, so now we have 18/12 + 9/12 and we get 27/12 or 2.25.

=> 2x+4 = 3(x-4)

=> 2x+4 = 3x-12

=> 2x+4 - 4 = 3x-12 - 4 (Subtract 4 on both the sides)

=> 2x = 3x-16

6[y-2]/7-12=2[y-7]/3

Answers

Answer:

y =47.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the LCM of 7 and 3 which is 21:

21* 6[y-2]/7-21*12 = 21*2[y-7]/3

18(y - 2) - 252 = 14(y - 7)

18y -36 - 252 = 14y - 98

18y - 14y = -98 + 36 + 252

4y = 190

y = 190/4

y = 47.5.

2. When I add 7 to three times my number I get 43. My mystery number is....

Answers

Answer:

1) 6 & 2)12

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equations backwards-

1) Subtract 6 from 36, and then divide by 5.

36 = 6 + 5x

(36 - 6)/5 = x

x = 6

2) Subtract 7 from 43, and then divide by 3.

43 = 7 + 3y

(43 - 7)/3 = y
