Finger [1]3 years ago

Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

a 120 watt light bulb uses about 0.1 kilowatt of electricity per hour. if electricity costs 0.20 per kilowatt hour, how much doe
Allushta [10]
A 120 watt light-bulb is a 0.120 kilowatt light bulb.

In one hour, it uses 0.120 kilowatt-hour of energy.

If electrical energy costs $0.20 per kilowatt hour, then that light bulb costs

        (0.120 kilowatt-hour / hour) x (0.20 dollar / kilowatt-hour) =

                            (0.120 x $0.20 / hour)  =  

                                       $0.024 / hour  =  <span>2.4¢  per hour </span>

Find the value of x such that the data set has a mean of 103.<br><br> 99,122,103,113,109,x
Mashcka [7]
That means the average of all data point equal:

(99+122+103+113+109+x)/6 = 103
===> (546+x)/6 = 103===> 546+x=618 & x=618-546=72, so x =72

A researcher plans to conduct a significance test at the 0.01 significance level. She designs her study to have a power of 0.90
Rasek [7]

Answer: 0.10

Step-by-step explanation: The type 2 error is committed when the alternative hypothesis is rejected when it should have been accepted causing the researcher to accept the null hypothesis which is false.

Power is the probability of avoiding a type 2 error. That is ;

Power = 1 - P(type 2 error)

Given that power = 0.90 ; P(type 2 error) = probability of committing a type 2 error.

P(type 2 error)' = 1 - P(type 2 error) = Probability of not committing or avoiding a type 2 error

0.90 = 1 - P(type 2 error)

P(type 2 error) = 1 - 0.90

P(type 2 error) = 0.10
