In one region, the September energy consumption levels for single-family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean

of 1050 kWh and a standard deviation of 218 kWh. Find P45, which is the consumption level separating the bottom 45% from the top 55%

Answer:

a=1050 -0.126*218=1022.532

So the value of height that separates the bottom 45% of data from the top 55% is 1022.532.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the consumption levels of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(1050,218)  

Where \mu=1050 kWh and \sigma=218kWh

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.55   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.45 of the area on the left and 0.55 of the area on the right it's z=-0.26. On this case P(Z<-0.126)=0.45 and P(z>-0.126)=0.55

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.126=\frac{a-1050}{218}

And if we solve for a we got

a=1050 -0.126*218=1022.532

So the value of height that separates the bottom 45% of data from the top 55% is 1022.532.

2x + 3y = 5x - y complete the missing value in the solution to the equation
Leto [7]

Answer:

The missing value is(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

2x+3y=5x-y

Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.

( ,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

We have given:

2x + 3y = 5x - y

Combine the like terms:

2x-5x= -y-3y

-3x = -4y

Both negative signs will be cancelled out by each other.

So we have,

3x = 4y

We have given y = 0

Then

3x = 4*0

3x= 0

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 0/3

x = 0

y=0

Therefore missing value is(0,0)

Which stem-and-leaf plot has a median of 3.2<br><br><br><br> page.2
DiKsa [7]
Find the median of each set:-

Median is middle number of a data set. If a data set has an odd number of numbers then the median is the middle number when ordered form least to greatest but if its an even number you have to find the mean for the middle 2 numbers when ordered for least to greatest. 

A.

1.2, 2.4, 3.2, 3.2, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.7

Even numbers = 8
3.2 + 3.6 = 6.8
6.8 ÷ 2 = 
Median = 3.4
So this shows that A isn't the answer because the median of A is 3.4, not 3.2. 

B.

1.6, 2.8, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 4.2, 4.5

Even numbers = 8
3.1 + 3.3 = 6.4
6.4 ÷ 2 = 3.2
Median = 3.2
<span>So this shows that B is the answer because the median of B is 3.2.

C. 

1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2, 3.2, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9
</span>
Even numbers = 8
2.2 + 3.2 = 5.4
5.4 ÷ 2 = 2.7
Median = 2.7
<span>So this shows that C isn't the answer because the median of C is 2.7, not 3.2.
</span>
D. 

1.4, 1.7, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2, 3.2, 4
Odd numbers = 9
Median = 3.1

<span>So this shows that D isn't the answer because the median of D is 3.1, not 3.2.
</span>
The stem and leaf plot which median is 3.2 is B.
