A utility company was interested in knowing if agricultural customers would use less electricity during peak hours if their rates were different during those hours. (Agricultural energy use is substantial, for things like irrigation, lighting, wind turbines to reduce frost damage, and so on.) Customers who volunteered for the study were randomly assigned to continue to get standard rates or to receive the time-of-day rate structure. Special meters were attached that recorded usage during peak and off-peak hours, which the customers could read. The technician who read the meter did not know what rate structure each customer had. a. What was the explanatory variable in this experiment?
b. What was the response variable in this experiment?
c. Was this experiment single-blind, doubleblind, or neither? Explain.
d. Did this experiment use matched pairs, blocks, or neither? Explain.

A) Status of Rate structure

B) Rate of usage of Electricity

C)  Double blind

D) Neither  

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The Explanatory variable is the Status of Rate structure during peak hours

B) The response Variable

The response variable in this experiment is the rate of usage of Electricity

( i.e. via meter readings )

C) The experiment can be considered a double -blind because the participants do not know the group they are assigned to ( either standard rate or time-of-day rate structure) but can only  read their meters while the technician does not know what rate structure the participants where assigned to or what meter was assigned to each group

D) The experiment Did not use matched blocks or  matched pairs

1,150 give brainliest

step-by-step explanation

2r= 2300

r =1150

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
