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

of 1050kWh 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=1022.53

So the value of height that separates the bottom 45% of data from the top 55% is 1022.53.  

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Solution to the problem

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

X \sim N(1050,218)  

Where \mu=1050 and \sigma=218

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=-0.126. 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

And if we solve for a we got

a=1050 -0.126*218=1022.53

So the value of height that separates the bottom 45% of data from the top 55% is 1022.53.

Pure copper was mixed with a 10% copper alloy to produce an alloy thát was 25% copper. How much of the pure copper and how much
lora16 [44]

Answer:

6kg pure copper and 30 kg 10% copper was mixed to give 36kg of 25% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to produce 36 kg of 25% alloy

Let the Pure copper be x kg while 10% alloy be y kg

Pure copper is simply 100% copper

Thus;

x + y = 36 •••••(i)

Then;

100% of x + 10% of y = 25% of 36

= x + 0.1y = 9 •••••• ii)

From i x = 36-y

from ii, x = 9-0.1y

Equate both x

36-y = 9-0.1y

36-9 = 0.1y + y

0.9y = 27

y = 27/0.9

y = 30

x = 36-y

x = 36-30

x = 6 kg

The mean absolute deviation measures which of the following from the data given?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Variability

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set is the average distance between each data value and the mean. Mean absolute deviation is a way to describe variation in a data set. Mean absolute deviation helps us get a sense of how "spread out" the values in a data set are.
