So the answer choices are
1. a-b=even
2. a and b are not odd
3. a and b are odd
4. a-b=even
5. a-b=not even

even=not odd
not even=odd so choice 5 is really a-b=odd
basically choice 4 and 1 are the same so we cross one out
so
the problem said that a and b are odd so therefor choice2 is wrong and choice 3 is correct

then both are odd
odd-odd=even because
an even number is represented as 2n where n is an integer
an odd number can be represented as 2n+1 so assume you have 2 odd numbers 2 away from each other so odd and (odd+2)
odd+2-odd=2n+1+2-(2n+1)=2n+1+2-2n-1=2n-2n+1-1+2=2
you are left with odd
using integers
7 and 11
11-7=4
even

so odd-odd=even, it depends on weather you consider 0 odd or even


so the asnwers are:
a and b are odd
a-b is not an even integer

An electrical power company is looking to expand into a new market. Before they commit to supplying the new area with electricit
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

atleast 385

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an electrical power company is looking to expand into a new market. Before they commit to supplying the new area with electricity, they would like know the mean daily power usage for homes there.

Population std deviation = \sigma = 50

Sample size =n

STd error of sample mean = \frac{50}{\sqrt{n} }

Margin of error for 95% would be Critical value ( std error)

Here since population std dev is known we can use Z critical value= 1.96

1.96*\frac{50}{\sqrt{n} }19.6^2\\n>384.16

Sample size should be atleast 385
