for any fraction a/b, the decimal format of it is just a ÷ b.
A)
is the number rational?
well, a rational number is one we can write as a ration or fraction, well clearly is a fraction so it is rational.
B)
can it be written as a repeating/recurring decimal? well, 9/20 is 0.45, so -9/20 is -0.45, no repeating decimal like 0.454545......... , just a plain vanilla -0.45, so nope.
C)
is it less than -0.4?
well, let's recall that for the negative side on the number line, the closer to 0, the larger the number, so then -1,000,000 is much smaller than -1, because -1 is closer to 0.
who is closer -0.4 or -0.45?
|--------------------- -0.45 -------- -0.40 ------------------- 0 --------------- 1 -------------------|
so, -0.45 is farther from 0, and therefore is smaller than -0.4, so yes.
Answer:
a) 7/4 b) 5 c) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Logrithmic Rule for a and b
Let a, M, N be positive real numbers.
a)
logaM - logaN = loga(M/N)
log9(7) - log9(4) = log9 (7/4)
b)
logaM + logaN = logaMN
log2 (x) + log2(9) = log2(45)
x9=45
(x9)/9 = 45/9
x = 5
c)
Change of base formula.
logb(x)=logd(b)/logd(x)
x log6(5) = log6(25) divide each term by log6(5)
x log6(5) / log6(5) = log6(25) / log6(5) Cancel common factor log6(5)
x = log6(25) / log6(5)
x = log6(5^2) / log6(5)
Expand log6(5^2) by moving 2 outside the logarithm.
x = 2log6(5) / log6(5) cancel the like term log6(5)
x = 2
Answer:
(A) 0.006593 or 0.6593%
(B) 0.01538 or 1.538%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of possibilities to pick 3 parts out of 15 possible parts is given by the following combination:
(A) There are only three possibilities for which the inspector finds exactly one nonconforming part (NCC, CNC, CCN). Therefore, the probability is:
(B) There are three possibilities for which the inspector finds exactly one nonconforming part, three possibilities for two nonconforming parts (NNC, CNN, NCN), and one possibility for all nonconforming parts (NNN). The probability that the inspector finds at least one nonconforming part is:
Answer : E is the answer
Explanation: -2 < n <_ 6
Means the numbers bigger that are bigger than -2 but smaller or equal to 6
And only E matches that
In addition to mean and sample size you will need the individual scores.
The formula for standard deviation is:
S^2 = E(X-M)^2/N-1
Here's an example:
Data set: 4,4,3,1
Mean: 3
Sample size: 4
First, put the individual scores one after the other and subtract the mean from it.
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 3 = 0
1 - 3 = -2
Second, square the answers you got from step 1.
1^2 = 1
1^2 = 1
0^2 = 0
-2^2 = 4
Third, plug the values from step 2 into the formula.
S^2 = (1+1+0+4)/(4-1) = 6/3 = 2
Standard deviation = 2
