Bertha buys electricity from a company that offers a choice of two tariffs. Both have a daily charge of $0.20 regardless of how

much electricity is used. The ‘standard’ tariff charges $0.10 for each unit used, while the ‘day/night tariff’ charges $0.12 for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00, when total demand on the electricity network is low. Bertha is currently on the standard tariff. What is the highest proportion of her total electricity consumption that Bertha’s daytime use can be, so that she would not be paying more if she switched to the ‘day/night’ tariff?
A. 5/17
B. 2/5
C. 5/7
D. 17/20

Answer: D ( 17/20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two choices are:

The ‘standard’ tariff charges = $0.10 per unit

The ‘day/night tariff’ = $0.12 per unit for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00

The day time is between 22:00 and 06:00

Time = 22 - 6 = 16 hours

Let assume that the charges are unit per hour.

For standard tariff = (16 × 0.10) + 0.2

Standard tariff = 1.6 + 0.2 = 1.8

For day/night = (16 × 0.12) + 0.2

= 1.92 + 0.2

= 2.12

The proportion will be

1.8/2.12 = 17/20 ( approximately)

The measure of angle KMJ??
Irina18 [472]
44

Assuming JM and LN are parallel, KMJ=MKN. MKN is part of a triangle where the other two values are defined (48 and 88). By subtracting these values from 180, we find the value of MKN is 44, which therefore is also the value of KMJ.

zepelin [54]

Answer:

1. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the population means (in other words, there is no treatment effect).

2. The<u> alternative hypothesis</u> is that at least one of the population means is different from another (in other words, there is an effect Of at least one Of the treatments).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a statistical analysis, the statistician shares his participants into several groups and administers treatments to them. After administering the treatment, he might want to compare the values obtained to see if there is a difference. If he accepts the null hypothesis as true, that means that there was no difference between the population means. This can also be taken to mean that the result had no difference among the groups.

But if the alternative hypothesis was true, that means that the population means were not all equal and so, there was an effect from the treatment administered.

sasho [114]

Answer:

Predicted value YHat is a symbol used to represent the predicted equation for a line of best fit in a linear regression. The equation usually take the form of 'a' as the y- intercept and 'b' as the slope of the graph. It is calculated from estimated regression equations for the line of best fit.

While outcome of experiment is the total of all possible results from an experiment.
