Electricity bills: According to a government energy agency, the mean monthly household electricity bill in the United States in 2011 was $109.55. Assume the amounts are normally distributed with standard deviation $21.00. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following. (a) What proportion of bills are greater than $135? (b) What proportion of bills are between $84 and $143? (c) What is the probability that a randomly selected household had a monthly bill less than $119? Round the answers to at least four decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.11277

b) 0.83253

c) 0.67364

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the question,

Mean = $109.55.

Standard deviation = $21.00.

a) What proportion of bills are greater than $135?

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 135 - 109.55/21

= 1.2119

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<135) = 0.88723

P(x>135) = 1 - P(x<135) = 0.11277

The proportion of bills are greater than $135 = 0.11277

(b) What proportion of bills are between $84 and $143?

For x = $84

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 84 - 109.55/21

= -1.21667

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 84) = 0.11187

For x = 143

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 143 - 109.55/21

= 1.59286

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 143) = 0.9444

The proportion of bills are between $84 and $143

= P(x = $143) - P(x = 84)

= 0.9444 - 0.11187

= 0.83253

(c) What is the probability that a randomly selected household had a monthly bill less than $119?

For x = $119

=119 - 109.55/ 21

= 0.45

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<119) = 0.67364

The probability that a randomly selected household had a monthly bill less than $119 is 0.67364

The length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width. Its area is 359 square feet. Find the length and width of the garden. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show all work.

Answers

Given parameters:

Area of the rectangular garden  = 359ft²

Unknown:

length and width of the garden  = ?

To find the length and breadth of the garden, we need to define and know that the area of a rectangle is.

 Area of a rectangle  = Length x Breadth

From the problem statement;

 Let w = width of the rectangular garden

        L = length of the garden;

 Now,

          length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width

           L = 4w - 5

Now let us substitute this into the equation;

       Area  = L x w

    359 = (4w - 5)w

           4w² - 5w - 359

Using:

          w = -b ± √b² -  4ac  /  2a

 where b  = -5 , a  = 4  and c = -359

  w  =   -(-5)  ± √-5² - 4(4)(-359)  /  2(4)

 w = 5 ± √25 + 5744 / 8

 w =  5 ± 75.9 / 8

 w  = [tex]\frac{5 + 75.9}{8} or \frac{5 - 75.9}{8}[/tex]

  w  = 10.1ft

 The other solution is not possible it will be a negative value. Width value cannot be negative.

So L = 4w - 5  = 4(10.1) - 5 = 35.5ft

The length and breadth of the rectangular are 35.5ft and 10.1ft respectively.

B. The number furthest from the variable (but on the same side of the equals sign)

C. order doesnt matter - choose which you want to do first

D. the number touching the variable

Answers

Answer:

C. Order doesnt matter - choose which you want to do first

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving multi step equations, there are different steps that can be followed depending on the nature of the equation. There could be variables on only one side or both sides of the equation and that can affect the order of operations. Thus, there is no standard order.

For example let's consider the equation;

7y + 6 = 2y + 16

Now,we can see there are variables on both sides, so the first step would be either to take the constants to one side first or to take the unknown variables to one side.

Whereas, in another example say;

5x - 3 = 7

The only option here is to take the constant on the left side to the right side.

There are other examples where we may have to carry out a division of all terms as the first step. In some other cases, there may be brackets, we need to get rid of as the first step.

Thus, there is no standard order and as such we choose which order we want to use based on the nature of the equation.

The measure of an angle is seventy-four times the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

x = measure of the angle

180 - x = measure of supplement {supplementary angles add up to 180}

x = 74(180 - x) {measure of the angle is 174 times the supplement}

x = 13,320 - 74x {used distributive property}

75x = 13,320 {added 74x to each side}

x = 177.6 {divided each side by 177.6}

the angle is 177.6

the supplement is 2.4

what is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,2) and is parallel to the line 5x-4y=36

Answers

Answer:

y=5/4x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

put ito slope intercept form and then using the slope put y intercept in order for it to be true

The required equation of line will be y = 1.25x - 8.

It is given that a line passes through a point (8,2) and is parallel to the line 5x - 4y= 36.

We have to find out the equation of the line.

What is the general equation of a line ?

The equation of a line is y = mx + c , where m = slope of line.

As per the question ;

The line is parallel to another line 5x -4y = 36.

5x - 4y = 36

4y = 5x - 36

diving by 4 on both sides ;

y = (5/4)x - (36/4)

y = 1.25x - 9

After comparing with the general equation of a line y = mx + c. We found that value of slope m = 1.25.

So,  the parallel line will have the same slope.

y = 1.25 x + c

As the line passes through point (8,2) , hence x = 8 and y =2. After putting this value in the above equation we get ,

2 = 1.25 × 8 + c

∴ c = 2 - 10 = - 8

c = - 8

And the final equation of the line will be ,

y = 1.25 x - 8.

Thus , the required equation of line will be y = 1.25x - 8.

6.) The length of a rectangle is 19 feet longer than the width. If the perimeter is 46
feet, write an equation for this scenario where "x" represents the width.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter can be expressed as

P=2L+2W

let the width be x

W=x

L=x+19

perimeter P=46ft

Therefore substituting and solving for x we have

46=2(x+19)+2x

46=2x+38+2x

46=2x+2x+38

46-38=4x

8=4x

x=8/4

x=2

the width is 2

the lenght = 2+19=21

The force of the rope is equal to the negative of the tension on the rope and the force of gravity.
Which table shows the values when combining the functions to find the force of the rope?

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we can just pick a couple of points and see which table gives the correct values.

Test Value 1)

Let's let m be 0.5.

So, our output will be:

[tex]-(T(0.5)+G(0.5))[/tex]

From our original tables, we know that T(0.5) is 1.25 and G(0.5) is 4.9. So:

[tex]=-(1.25+4.9)[/tex]

Add:

[tex]=-6.15[/tex]

So, when m is 0.5, our output should be -6.15.

The only choice that does this is B. So, B is our correct answer!

However, let's do another test point just to confirm.

Test Value 2)

Let's let m be 1.2.

So, our output will be:

[tex]-(T(1.2)+G(1.2))[/tex]

From our original table, we know that T(1.2) is 3 and G(1.2) is 11.76. So:

[tex]=-(3+11.76)[/tex]

Add:

[tex]=-14.76[/tex]

The only choice that does this is B. So, we are confident that B is our answer.

And we're done!

F is between E and G. Find FG if EG = 25, EF= 2x – 6 and FG = 4x + 7

Answers

Answer:

23+ 37 = 42

the EG is congruent to the FA and therefore have to dividee the value to get 302

FG = 23 is our answer.

Given,

F is between E and G.

EG = 25

EF= 2x – 6

FG = 4x + 7.

We have to find FG.

We have,

F is between E and G.

So,

EG = EF + FG

We can find FG.

EG = EF + FG

25 = 2x - 6 + 4x + 7

25 = 6x + 1

25 - 1 = 6x

24 = 6x

x = 4

So,

Putting x = 4 in FG = 4x + 7.

FG = 4X + 7 = 4 x 4 + 7 = 16 + 7 = 23

Thus FG = 23.

how to solve this problem 3x+5=2x+1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 5 = 2x + 1

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 2x + 1

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 1 + 2x

Solving

5 + 3x = 1 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 3x + -2x = 1 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x

5 + 1x = 1 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

5 + 1x = 1 + 0

5 + 1x = 1

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 1x = 1 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 1x = 1 + -5

1x = 1 + -5

Combine like terms: 1 + -5 = -4

1x = -4

Divide each side by '1'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation, we must find a value of x that satisfies the equation.

3x + 5 = 2x + 1

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x + 5 = 1

Subtract 5 from both sides.

x = -4

So the value of x that satisfies the equation is -4. So the solution to the equation would be x = -4.
