A student wants to simulate 31 ​birthdays, but she does not have a calculator or software program​ available, so she makes up 31

numbers between 1 and 365. Is it okay to conduct the simulation this​ way? Why or why​ not?

Answer:

No, it is not okay to conduct the simulation this​ way.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, simulation refers to a technique that is employed to model random events so that the results obtained from using the simulation is significantly similar to the results obtained from observing the real-world.

Researchers are therefore able to understand the real world when they observe the simulated outcomes.

From the description above, it can be seen that simulation is about studying random events. Therefore, a sample of the population that will be used in the simulation must be selected through a random sampling.

Random sampling refers to the sampling method that gives equal opportunity of being selected to each member of the population. This makes the sample selected through random sampling technique to be an unbiased representation of the total population.

As a result, making up 31 numbers between 1 and 365 by the student is not a random sampling, because his method may favor some numbers over others. It is therefore a defective method of carrying out simulation.

 Therefore, the it is not okay to conduct the simulation this​ way.

I wish you the best.

Answer:

B = 5 and F = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: B = 5 because 350(5) = 1750

Step 2: F = 5 because 525(5) = 2625

Step 3: 2625 +  1750 = 4375

In May you used 900 ​kilowatt-hours of energy for electricity.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a) "The total electrical energy use was 3,240,000,000 joules."

b) "The average power use is 1210 watts."

c)

<u>Part 1:</u> "To generate the electricity you​ used, 810 L is needed."

<u>Part 2:</u> "To generate the electricity you​ used, 214.00 gal is needed."

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

1 kilowatt-hours = 3.6x10^6 joules

Converting 900 kilowatt-hours to joules, we have:

900*(3.6*10^6)=3.24*10^9 joules, or

Total Electrical Energy use = 3,240,000,000 joules

"The total electrical energy use was 3,240,000,000 joules."

b)

The month of May has 31 days and 1 day  is 24 hours. So May has:

31*24=744 hours

Now, we divide 900 kW-hr by the number of hours in the month (744 hrs) to get average power use:

\frac{900}{744}=1.21 kW. Since 1000 Watts = 1 kW, we multiply this by 1000 to get the answer in Watts:

1.21 * 1000 = 1210 Watts

"The average power use is 1210 watts."

c)

<u>Part 1:</u>

The conversion efficiency of most generating stations is 33%. So we need to multiply the total electrical energy use (in joules) by a factor of 3 to get the amount of joules required. So:

(3.24 * 10^9)*3 = 9.72 * 10^9 joules

We divide this by 12 million joules to get the number of liters:

\frac{9.72*10^9}{12*10^6}=810

So, 810 liters is needed

"To generate the electricity you​ used, 810 L is needed."

<u>Part 2:</u>

We know that 0.2642 gallons is equal to 1 liters. To get the number of gallons needed, we multiply 810 by 0.2642. So:

810 * 0.2642 = 214.00 gallons

"To generate the electricity you​ used, 214.00 gal is needed."

On story Ratios Worksheet 3: how do you do this problem. Jackie sold lemonade and made $24 while Liana sold lemonade and made $3
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Ratios of money made by Jackie and Liana = \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

On selling a lemonade :

Money made by Jackie = $24

Money made by Liana = $36

We need to find the ratios of money made by Jackie and Liana by selling lemonade.

So, Ratio  = Money made by Jackie / Money made by Liana

or  , Ratio = \frac{24}{36}

or, Ratio = \frac{2}{3}

So, the ratios of money made by Jackie and Liana is \frac{2}{3}
