Kylie explained that (–4x + 9)2 will result in a difference of squares because (–4x + 9)2 = (–4x)2 + (9)2 = 16x2 + 81. Which sta

Well, in order to get that you had to do distributive property, distributive property is when you get the outside number next to the parenthesis and multiply it by the numbers or variable inside the parenthesis one by one. So if she was trying to explain how you got the answer you got then you would say you used the distributive property. Now the (-4x)2 would look like (-4x)(-4x) nad the (9)2 will look like (9)(9) that is why it results in 16x2+81. When you square something it means that you multiply the first number or variable or both times the same. That is why you got that answer. Now I am going to make clear that you r(-4x) changed from a negative to a postive because when you multiply a negative times a negative(or divide also) it results in a positve.

Hope I explained it enough

A random sample of 30 households was selected as part of a study on electricity usage, and the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) wa

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean usage in the March quarter of 2006, in kWh, was (333.87, 416.13).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 30 - 1 = 29

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 29 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99$ . So we have T = 2.462

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.462\frac{91.5}{\sqrt{30}} = 41.13$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 375 - 41.13 = 333.87 kWh

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 375 + 41.13 = 416.13 kWh

The 98% confidence interval for the mean usage in the March quarter of 2006, in kWh, was (333.87, 416.13).
