A utility company was interested in knowing if agricultural customers would use less electricity during peak hours if their rates were different during those hours. (Agricultural energy use is substantial, for things like irrigation, lighting, wind turbines to reduce frost damage, and so on.) Customers who volunteered for the study were randomly assigned to continue to get standard rates or to receive the time-of-day rate structure. Special meters were attached that recorded usage during peak and off-peak hours, which the customers could read. The technician who read the meter did not know what rate structure each customer had.
a. What was the explanatory variable in this experiment?
b. What was the response variable in this experiment?
c. Was this experiment single-blind, doubleblind, or neither? Explain.
d. Did this experiment use matched pairs, blocks, or neither? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Status of Rate structure

B) Rate of usage of Electricity

C)  Double blind

D) Neither  

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The Explanatory variable is the Status of Rate structure during peak hours

B) The response Variable

The response variable in this experiment is the rate of usage of Electricity

( i.e. via meter readings )

C) The experiment can be considered a double -blind because the participants do not know the group they are assigned to ( either standard rate or time-of-day rate structure) but can only  read their meters while the technician does not know what rate structure the participants where assigned to or what meter was assigned to each group

D) The experiment Did not use matched blocks or  matched pairs

Given:

Two figures.

To find:

The area of the shaded regions for both figures.

Solution:

In first figure, the shaded area is a triangle with base 15 units and height 12 units. So, the area of the shaded region is equal to area of the triangle.

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 15\times 12[/tex]

[tex]A=\dfrac{180}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=90[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 90 square units.

In the seconds figure, we need to subtract the area of square from the area of triangle, to get the area of the shaded region.

Area of triangle with base 15 and height 18 is:

[tex]A_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 15\times 18[/tex]

[tex]A_1=\dfrac{270}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A_1=135[/tex]

Area of the square with sides 6.

[tex]A_2=(side)^2[/tex]

[tex]A_2=(6)^2[/tex]

[tex]A_2=36[/tex]

Now, the area of the shaded region is:

[tex]A=A_1-A_2[/tex]

[tex]A=135-36[/tex]

[tex]A=99[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 99 square units.

Find point Z that partitions the directed line segment XY in the ratio of 3:2 where X(-4, -2) and Y(6, 3).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

point Z (x, y)

x = 3/5 × (6+4) + (-4)

= 3/5×10 -4

= 6-4

= 2

y = 3/5 ×(3+2) + (-2)

= 3/5 ×5 -2

= 3-2

= 1

so, point Z => (2 , 1)

The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10. Suppose a simple random sample of business travelers is selected and each traveler is asked to provide a rating for the Miami International Airport. The ratings obtained from the sample of business travelers follow.
3 7 8 9 10 10 10 9 9 9 9 8 5
6 7 7 9 8 10 9 8 7 6 8 7 9

4 7 3 10 8 9 8 10 10 8 8
Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami (to 2 decimals).

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean  is (7.38, 8.46).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to find the mean and standard deviation of the sample.

In this sample, there are 50 values.

Mean of the sample:

Sum of all values divided by the number of values.

With the help of a calculator, the mean is of 7.92.

Standard deviation:

Square root of the division of the sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean by the number of the values.

With the help of a calculator, the standard deviation is of 1.8958.

Confidence interval:

We have the confidence interval for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 50 - 1 = 49

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 49 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.01

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.01\frac{1.8958}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.54[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.92 - 0.54 = 7.38

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 7.92 + 0.54 = 8.46

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean  is (7.38, 8.46).

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): Make a table

Considering the values of x from 0 to 5, we have:

When [tex]x = 0[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 5 \to 3 * 0 - 5 = -5[/tex]

When [tex]x = 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 5 \to 3 * 1 - 5 = -2[/tex]

When [tex]x = 2[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 5 \to 3 * 2 - 5 = 1[/tex]

When [tex]x = 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 5 \to 3 * 9 - 5 = 4[/tex]

When [tex]x = 4[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 5 \to 3 * 4 - 5 = 7[/tex]

When [tex]x = 5[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 5 \to 3 * 5 - 5 = 10[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x \to y[/tex]

[tex]0 \to -5[/tex]

If a fair coin is tossed 8 times, what is the probability, to the nearest thousandth, of getting exactly 2 tails?

Answers

Answer:

0.109

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is expressed by the number of desirable outcomes over the total outcomes. The total outcomes would be 2^8 because there are two possibilities in each flip, and using the fundamental counting principle, you get 2^8 total outcomes. Next, to find the amount of situations where you only flip two tails, you use 8 choose 2 because we are looking for the amount of ways you can choose 2 out of the 8 to be tails. 8 choose 2 is the same as:

8! / (6! x 2!) - 28

So, the probability is:

28 / 2^8 or 28/256

As a decimal, this is: 0.109375

And rounded to the nearest thousandth it's 0.109

Step-by-step explanation:

I feel there is important information lost in the way you provided the problem statement.

e.g. "... also equal to ?"

equal to what ?

sin x = what ?

so, I can only guess some things.

answer C is definitely correct for any angle up to 180 degrees.

answer A is only correct for an angle of 45 or 225 degrees, where sin(x) and cos(x) are both 1/sqrt(2) or both -1/sqrt(2).

answer B is always wrong (459 degrees is no special number, this is a full circle of 360 degrees and then additional 99 degrees there is no special relationship between sine and cosine for 99 degrees, so sine and cosine cannot have the same value for any x).

answer D is always wrong, as there is always a 30 degree difference between the arguments for sine and cosine, and that can never lead to an equal value.

answer E is also always wrong, as these 45 degrees difference also block equal values.

(Quadratic Regressions)
A rocket is shot off from a launcher. The accompanying table represents the height of
the rocket at given times, where x is time, in seconds, and y is height, in feet. Write a
quadratic regression equation for this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the
nearest hundredth. Using this equation, find the height, to the nearest foot, at a time
of 6.4 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20

510

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic model obtained using a quadratic regression solver with Coefficient rounded to the nearest hundredth is :

y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20

Where, height = y

x = time

Using the model obtained ; the height, to the nearest foot, at a time, x = 6.4 seconds.

y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20

y = - 15.57(6.4^2) + 179.32(6.4) + 0.20

y = 510.1008

y = 510

The quadratic model obtained using a quadratic regression solver with Coefficient rounded to the nearest hundredth is :

y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20

height = y

x = time

                          Using the model obtained;

The height, to the nearest foot, at a time, x = 6.4 seconds.

y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20 y = - 15.57(6.4^2) + 179.32(6.4) + 0.20 y = 510.1008 y = 510

Thus, the correct answer is 510.
