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 0.15 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the standard deviation is 1.9 kWh and the mean is 16.7 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? Round your answer up to the next integer

Answer: 263

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Population standard deviation : \sigma=1.9\text{ kWh}

maximum error : E=0.15 kWh

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.98=0.02

Critical value for 98% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.28

Formula to find the sample size :

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma}{E})^2\\\\=(\dfrac{1.28\times1.9}{0.15})^2\\\\=262.872177778\approx263

Hence, the minimum sample size required =263

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The set of numbers of the form \frac{p}{q} , q≠0 and q≠ 1 or -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

U = the universal set = the set of all rational numbers

S = set of all integers.

It is required to find S^{c}.

Now, S^{c} is the complement of the set S.

i.e. S^{c} = U - S = set if rational numbers - set of integers

i.e. S^{c} = the set of rationals which are not integers i.e. the set of points of the form \frac{p}{q} , q≠0 and q≠ 1 or -1.

Elden [556K]

Using the given formula T = LS

And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:

180 = L x 4-1/2

Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:

L = 180 / 4-1/2

L = 40

The length should be 40 inches.

Ahmad just put some money into a cd that pays 11.3% interest compounded semiannually according to the rule of 72 in approximatel
lilavasa [31]
The "rule of 72" says that the doubling time in years is approximately 72 divided by the interest rate in percent. To make the money grow by a factor of 4 requires that it double twice, so will take twice as long as the period to double once.
  2×72/11.3 ≈ 12.7 . . . . years

_____
The "rule of 72" is an approximation. The actual quadrupling time for this interest rate and compounding is about 12.6 years. (The actual product of doubling time and nominal interest rate is about 71.25.)
