A study has indicated that the sample size necessary to estimate the average electricity use by residential customers of a large

western utility company is 900 customers. Assuming that the margin of error associated with the estimate will be ±30 watts and the confidence level is stated to be 90 percent, what was the value for the population standard deviation?

Answer:

\sigma=547.1125

Step-by-step explanation:

-The margin of error is calculated using the formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\

-We substitute the values, n=900 and ME=30 in the formula to solve for standard deviation:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\30=1.645\times\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{900}}\\\\\sigma=\frac{30^2}{1.645}\\\\=547.1125

Hence, the population standard deviation is 547.1125

Change x + 2y = 6 into slope-intercept form.
mart [117]

Answer:

The slope intercept form involves solving for y, such that the equation looks like this: y = mx + b, where m is a constant representing the slope of the line, and b is a constant representing the value of the y-intercept.

Starting with the equation x+2y=6 and subtracting x from both sides gives 2y =  -x + 6.

If we then divide each term by 2, we get the final result of y = -1/2x + 3.

Here we see that the slope (m) is equal to -1/2, and the y-intercept (b) is 3.

the area of a rectangular field is x^2-x-72m^2. the length of the field is x+8m. what is the width of the field in meters?
olga nikolaevna [1]
So first off, remember the formula for the area of a rectangle. it's length time width right? or, you could think that A= 2 things multiplied together. how can we simplify x^2 - x -72 to equal two things multiplied together? well, we can factor it! We know that one of the factors is x+8 right? so what's the other factor? it would be x-9. so, we know width is x-9. I'm not sure if you need an actual value for width. if so, I could probably go further.

Express the recurring decimal 0.034 as a fraction in its simplest form.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

\frac{17}{495} will be the fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the recurring decimal number is 0.0343434....

To convert this recurring decimal to fraction we assume,

x = 0.03434....   -------(1)

Now multiply both the sides with 100.

100x = 3.43434.... ------(2)

Now subtract equation (1) from equation (2).

100x = 3.43434

<u>      x = 0.03434</u>

99x = 3.4

x = \frac{3.4}{99}

  = \frac{34}{990}

x = \frac{17}{495}

Therefore, fraction that represents the decimal number is \frac{17}{495}
