The Energy Information Administration records the price of electricity in the United State each month. In July 2013, the average

price of electricity was 11.92 cents per kilowatt-hour. Suppose that the standard deviation is 2.1 cents per kilowatt-hour. What can you determine about these data by using Chebyshev's Inequality with K=3?

Answer:

89% of the time that average price of electricity is expected to be in the interval from 5.62 cents per kw-h to 18.22 cents per kw-h

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev's inequality states that:

When K = 2, 75% of the data is within two standard deviations of the mean

When K = 3, 89% of the data is within 3 standard deviations of the mean

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 11.92 cents per kw-h

Standard deviation = 2.1 cents per kw-h

What can you determine about these data by using Chebyshev's Inequality with K=3?

3 standard deviations below the mean

11.92 - 3*2.1 = 5.62 cents per kw-h

3 standard deviations above the mean

11.92 + 3*2.1 = 18.22 cents per kw-h

So you can determine that 89% of the time that average price of electricity is expected to be in the interval from 5.62 cents per kw-h to 18.22 cents per kw-h

Number 2 I need help on how to solve it
Hunter-Best [27]

Let's simplify the following expression:

\text{ }\frac{\text{ \lparen2x}^4\text{ - y}^6\text{z}^{-4})^2}{\text{ 2x}^2\text{z}^3}\text{ }\cdot\text{ }\frac{\text{ 6x}^5\text{y}^{-4}\text{z}^{-5}}{\text{ \lparen2x}^6\text{y}^3\text{z}^{-3})^2}

We get,

\text{ }\frac{(\text{2x}^4\text{ - y}^6\text{z}^{-4})^2}{\text{ 2x}^2\text{z}^3}\text{ }\cdot\text{  }\frac{6x^5y^{-4}z^{-5}}{(2x^6y^3z^{-3})^2}\text{ }\frac{(2x^4-y^6z^{-4})^2(6x^5y^{-4}z^{-5})}{(2x^2z^3)(2x^6y^3z^{-3})^2}\text{ }\frac{(4x^8\text{ - 4x}^4y^6z^{-4}\text{ + y}^{12}z^{-8})(6x^5y^{-4}z^{-5})}{(2x^2z^3)(4x^{12}y^6z^{-6})}\text{ }\frac{24x^{13}y^{-4}z^{-5}\text{ - 24x}^9y^2z^{-9}\text{ + 6x}^5y^8z^{-13}}{8x^{14}y^6z^{-3}}

Write the following sentence into an expression using x as your variable: Myrna and Tom collect stamps. Tom has four more than h
balandron [24]

Answer: f(x) = x/2 + 4.

where f(x) is the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is:

"Tom has four more than half the stamps that Myrna has"

For how is written, we can model the number of stamps that Tom has as a function f(x).

f(x) represents the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.

Then:

"four more than a number" is written as:

N + 4 (where N is the number)

"Half the stamps that Myrna has" is written as:

x/2.

Then the whole statement can be modeled as:

f(x) = x/2 + 4.

notice that we have x/2, and f(x) must be a whole number, so Myrna must have an even number of stamps (in that case x/2 will be integer)
