Answer:

The cost incurred by Trevor's family per minute on shower water totals $0.005.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of water is:

Cost = $0.20/liter

Water consumption over the past month:

Amount of water used = 72 liters

To calculate the total water expense:

Total water cost = Amount of water used × Cost

                           = 72 × 0.20

                           = $14.4/liter

The average time each individual spent showering is:

Average number of minutes = 480 minutes.

Total individuals in Trevor's household:

N = 6

Calculate the total shower duration for all 6 individuals:

Total amount of time = Average number of minutes × N

                                   = 480 × 6

                                   = 2880 minutes

Calculate the cost per minute for shower water:

Pay per minute on water = Total water cost ÷ Total amount of time

                                          = $14.4 ÷ 2880

                                          = $0.005

Therefore, Trevor's family pays $0.005 per minute for shower water.

zzz [4022]

Answer:

We conclude that less than or equal to 50% of the student body supports him significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike, while campaigning for the student government presidency, is keen to determine if more than 50% of the student body supports him.

A random sample of 100 students was surveyed, with 55 expressing support for Mike.

Let p = the proportion of students backing Mike.

Thus, Null Hypothesis, H_0: p \leq 50% {indicating that the proportion of supporters among the student body is significantly less than or equal to 50%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A: p > 50% {indicating that the proportion of supporters among the student body is significantly more than 50%}

The test statistics to be utilized here One-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = the sampled proportion in favor of Mike = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55

n = number of sampled students = 100

Therefore, test statistics = \frac{0.55-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.55(1-0.55)}{100} } }

= 1.01

The z test statistic is 1.01.

At a significance level of 0.05, the z table provides a critical value of 1.645 for a right-tailed test.

Given that our test statistic falls below the critical value of z (1.01 < 1.645), we lack sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis as it remains outside the rejection region, leading to failure to reject our null hypothesis.

As a result, we conclude that less than or equal to 50% of the student body is in favor of him or the proportion supporting Mike is not significantly greater than 50%.

A rectangle has area 25 m2. express the perimeter of the rectangle as a function of the length l of one of its sides. p(l) = sta
zzz [4022]
a) The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width:
   A = l·w

This formula allows us to express the width in terms of area and length. By dividing A by l, we find
   A/l = w

We also recognize that the perimeter of a rectangle is the total length around it.
   P = l + w + l + w
   P = 2(l + w)
We aim to rewrite the perimeter formula to isolate l on one side, using the expression for w derived earlier.
   P = 2(l + A/l)

By substituting the known value for A, we can express p(l) as
   p(l) = 2(l + 25/l)
   p(l) = 2l + 50/l


b)
For lengths exceeding widths, we have
   l > w
   l > A/l
   l² > A
   l > √A
   l > √25

This indicates that the domain of p(l) is
   l ∈ (5, ∞)..... meters

Which of the following describes a continuous variable?
AnnZ [3877]

Answer: E. The sizes of shoes available for sale in a department store

Step-by-step explanation:

A continuous variable is characterized by:

  • a quantitative variable capable of taking an infinite number of values between any two points.
  • a measurement of a quantity such as height, weight, length, etc.

In this scenario, options A through D represent discrete variables that can be counted.

Only option E describes the measurement pertaining to shoe sizes.

Thus, "The sizes of shoes available for sale in a department store" defines a continuous variable.

Therefore, the correct choice is "E".
