A certain region currently has wind farms capable of generating a total of 2200 megawatts (2.2 gigawatts) of power. Assuming win

d farms can generate 25% of their capacity, how much energy, in kilowatt-hours, can the region's wind farm generate in one year?
Given that the average household in the region uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year, how many households can be powered by these wind farms?

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 4,818'000,000 kilowatt-hours per year and B. 481,800 households.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the questions:

Power capacity of the wind farms = 2,200 Megawatts or 2.2 Gigawatts

2. Let's resolve the questions A and B:

Part A

Assuming wind farms typically generate 25​% of their​ capacity, how much​ energy, in​ kilowatt-hours, can the​ region's wind farms generate in one​ year?

2,200 * 0.25 = 550 Megawatts

550 Megawatts = 550 * 1,000 Kilowatts = 550,000 Kilowatts

Now we calculate the amount of Kilowatts per hour, per day and per year:

550,000 Kw generated by the farms means that are capable of produce 550,000 kw per hour of energy

550,000 * 24 = 13'200,000 kilowatt-hours per day

<u>13'200,000 * 365 = 4,818'000,000 kilowatt-hours per year</u>

Part B

Given that the average household in the region uses about​ 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each​ year, how many households can be powered by these wind​ farms?

For calculating the amount of households we divide the total amount of energy the wind farms can generate (4,818'000,000 kilowatt-hours) and we divide it by the average household consumption (10,000 kilowatt-hours)

<u>Amount of households =  4,818'000,000/10,000 = 481,800</u>

Let sin(2x) = cos(x), where 0° ≤ x &lt; 180°. What are the possible values for x?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The possible values of x are 90°, 30° and 150°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

sin(2x) = cos(x) where 0° ≤ x < 180°

We know that, sin(2x) = 2 sinx cosx

2 sinx cosx = cosx

Subtract cosx on both sides

2 sinx cosx - cosx = 0

cosx (2sinx-1)=0

It means, cosx = 0 and (2sin x -1 ) = 0

cos x = cos0           and        sinx = 1/2

x = 90°                     and        x = 30°, 150°

Hence, the possible values of x are 90°, 30° and 150°.

A set of 200 test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 5. Approximately how many studen
spin [16.1K]

Answer:  About 191 students scored between a 60 and an 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A set of 200 test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 5.

i.e. \mu=70 and \sigma=5

let x be the random variable that denotes the test scores.

Then, the probability that the students scored between a 60 and an 80 :

P(60

The number of students scored between a 60 and an 80 = 0.9544 x 200

= 190.88 ≈ 191

Hence , about 191 students scored between a 60 and an 80.
