Home Electricity Use The rate at which your home consumes electricity is measured in kilowatts. If your home consumes electricity at the rate of 1 kilowatt for 1 hour, you will be charged for 1 "kilowatt-hour" of electricity. Suppose that the average consumption rate for a certain home is modeled by the function $C(t)=3.9-2.4 \sin (\pi t / 12),$ where $C(t)$ is measured in kilowatts and $t$ is the number of hours past midnight. Find the average daily consumption for this home, measured in kilowatt- hours.
