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

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Size of each monthly payment = $161.69 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Value of property = $20,000

Downpayment = 20%

Number of payment = 12 x 10 = 120

Interest rate = 4% = 4% / 12 = 0.33 %

Computation:

Loan balance = 20,000 - 20%

Loan balance = $16,000

A] Size of each monthly payment [In Excel]

Size of each monthly payment = PMT(0.33%,120,16000,0)

Size of each monthly payment = $161.69 per month

noname [10]

Answer:

T = total #

T = 5 (to the aunt) + 1/2 (T - 5) (to his friends) + 1 (to his sister) + 4 (left)

T = 5 + 1/2 (T - 5) + 1 + 4

T = 10 + 1/2 (T - 5)

2T = 20 + (T - 5)

2T = 20 + T - 5

2T = 15 + T

T = 15
