The answer is (A): A lunar neap tide.

Explanation for each option:

(A) A lunar neap tide: This is the correct answer because a neap tide occurs when the difference between high and low tide is the least, which does not support the formation of a tidal bore. Tidal bores require a significant tidal range to form.

(B) A large tidal range: This is incorrect because a large tidal range is a crucial factor in the formation of a tidal bore. The significant difference between high and low tides provides the necessary energy for a tidal bore to occur.

(C) Incoming tides funneled to a narrow area through a broad bay: This is incorrect because when tides are funneled into a narrow area, it can amplify the tidal wave, supporting the formation of a tidal bore.

(D) The incoming tide is funneled into a shallow and narrow area like a channel or inlet: This is incorrect because funneling the tide into a shallow and narrow area can increase the height and speed of the tidal wave, which is conducive to the formation of a tidal bore.

In summary, a lunar neap tide does not support the formation of a tidal bore due to the minimal tidal range associated with it.

An energy study found that household use of electricity had a mean of 682 and a standard deviation of 551 kilowatt-hours. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Suppose the distribution of energy use was normal. Using a table, calculator, or software that can give normal probabilities, find the proportion of households with electricity use greater than 1000 kilowatt-hours. The proportion of households with electricity use greater than 1000 kilowatt-hours is 0.28 . (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) b. Based on the mean and standard deviation given, do you think that the distribution of energy use actually is normal? Why or why not? No, the distribution of energy use does not appear to be normal since 0 has a z-score of only (0-682) / 551=-1.24, yet energy use cannot be negative Yes, the distribution of energy use appears to be normal since the value 682 - 551=131 is positive.

Often, frequency distributions are reported using unequal class widths because the frequencies of some groups would otherwise be small or very large. Consider the following data, which represent the daytime household temperature the thermostat is set to when someone is home for a random sample of 754 households. Determine the class midpoint, if necessary, for each class and approximate the mean and standard deviation temperature. Class Class Midpoint 61-64 65-67 68-69 70 71-72 73-76 77-80 (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The sample mean is °F. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The sample standard deviation is °F. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
