Answer:

97.5%

Explanation:

By the empirical rule (68-95-99.7),

  1. 68% of data are within <em>μ </em>- <em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ <em>σ</em>
  2. 95% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>
  3. 99.7% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 3<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>

<em>σ </em> and <em>μ</em> are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question,

<em>μ</em> = 7.2 cm

<em>σ</em> = 0.38 cm

7.96 = 7.2 + (<em>n</em> × 0.38)

<em>n</em> = 2

Hence, 7.96 represents <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>.

P(X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = P(X < <em>μ</em>) + P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>)

P(X < <em>μ</em>) is the percentage less than the mean = 50%.

P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) is half of P(<em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = 95% ÷ 2 = 47.5%.

Considering this, for apples that are no more than 7.96 cm,

P(X < 7.96) = P(X < 7.2) + P(7.2 < X < 7.96) = 50% + 47.5% = 97.5%

A refrigerator having a power rating of 350W operates for 12 hours a day. calculate the cost of electrical energy to operate it
rodikova [14]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The cost of energy can be calculated by multiplying each given value, a dimensional analysis must be taken into account in order to calculate the total value of the cost in Rs.

Cost=0.350[kW]*12[\frac{hr}{1day}]*30[days]*4.5[\frac{Rs}{kW*hr} ]=567[Rs]

The fuse can be calculated by knowing the amperage.

P=V*I

where:

P = power = 350 [W]

V = voltage = 240 [V]

I = amperage [amp]

Now clearing I from the equation above:

I=P/V\\I=350/240\\I=1.458[amp]

The fuse should be larger than the current of the circuit, i.e. about 2 [amp]
