Kiwi and Corn got into an argument over if 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for 6. Do you think 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for

6? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

comparing the two given values, 1.75 and 6, estimating 1.75 for 6 is not reasonable. This is due to the fact that converting 1.75 to the nearest whole number gives 2 which is far away from 6. Since,

   6 - 2 = 4

So, estimating 1.75 for 6 would involve a large value of error. Which make it unreasonable. It would have been more reasonable to estimate 1.75 for 2.

Find the dimensions of a rectangle divided into two equal rectangles of maximum area that has total perimeter (including the mid
lilavasa [31]

The dimensions for this rectangle are b= 30 ft and h=20 ft.

<h3>Perimeter</h3>

The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides.

The question  gives:

  • the geometric figure - rectangle
  • the total perimeter - 120 ft

Therefore for the perimeter, you have

P= \frac{b}{2} +\frac{b}{2}+ h+ h +h

P=2b+3h

2b+3h=120 (1)

From equation 1, you can write:

2b=120-3h

b=\frac{120-3h}{2}

b= 60 - \frac{3h}{2} (2)

The area for the rectangle is given by A= bh. Therefore, by replacing (2) in the formula for rectangle area, you have:

A= (60-\frac{3h}{2} )* h\\ \\ A= 60h-\frac{3h^2}{2}

The maximum area will be calculated from the derivation of the previous equation of area.

\frac{dA}{dh}=60-2*\frac{3h}{2}\\ \\  \frac{dA}{dh}=60-3h

The maximum area can be found when the first derivative is equal to zero. Thus,

60-3h=0

-3h=-60 *(-1)

3h=60

h=20

Now, you know the height and from equation 2 (b= 60 - \frac{3h}{2} ) you can find the base.

b= 60 -\frac{3*20}{2}

b=60 - 3*10

b=60-30

b=30

Suppose that you want to estimate average income in a population. If the standard deviation of income in the population is $1,00
Alik [6]

Answer:

2401

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we want to estimate average income in a population.

The standard deviation of income in the population is $1,000

We want confidence interval around our estimate to be +/- $40

i.e Margin of error = 40

We know that margin of error = Std error * Z critical for 95%

i.e. 40 = 1.96 * std error

Std error = \frac{std dev}{\sqrt{n} } \\=\frac{1000}{\sqrt{n} }

Together we get

40=1.96(\frac{1000}{\sqrt{n} } )\\\sqrt{n} =\frac{1000*1.96}{40} \\=49\\n=2401\\

The consumption of electricity in May based on the model will be 1225kw.

<h3>How to calculate the consumption?</h3>

The model that's given to calculate the consumption is:

C = 1200 + 5t

May = 5th month

The consumption in May will be:

C = 1200 + 5t

C = 1200 + 5(5)

C = 1200 + 25

C = 1225Kw

In conclusion, the consumption of electricity in May based on the model will be 1225kw.
