The electric cooperative needs to know the mean household usage of electricity by its non-commercial customers in kWh per day. T

hey would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.09 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 5.76 kWh and the mean is 16.6 kWh per day. If they are using a 98% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity

Answer:

A sample of 3851 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 2.327.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Variance is 5.76 kWh

This means that \sigma = \sqrt{5.76} = 2.4

They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.09 kWh. How large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity?

This is n for which M = 0.09. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.09 = 2.327\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{n}}

0.09\sqrt{n} = 2.327*2.4

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*2.4}{0.09}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327*2.4}{0.09})^2

n = 3850.6

Rounding up:

A sample of 3851 is required.

Answer:

B. 5√3 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equilateral triangle, which means that all external sides (that make up the triangle) have the same measurement.

This means that line segment AC = 10.

Solve for the measurement of line segment AB. Line Segment AB is 1/2 of AC, making it: 10/2 = 5

Line AB = 5

Line AD = 10

This is a 1, √3, 2 triangle, in which:

1 = 5

2 = 10

Solve for √3. Multiply √3 with the 1:

5 x √3 = 5√3

B. 5√3 is your answer.
