If a, b ,c ,d are replaced by four distinct digits from 1 to 9 , inclusive, then the largest possible value of the difference of the decimals (a.b) and (c.d)[(a.b - c.d)] will be 8.6.

As per question statement, a, b ,c ,d are replaced by four distinct digits from 1 to 9 , inclusive.

We are required to calculate the largest possible value of the difference of the decimals (a.b) and (c.d).

Now, clearly, to obtain the largest difference between two decimals (a.b) and (c.d), (a.b) has to be the largest possible decimal within the given conditions and (c.d) has to be the least possible decimal.

Now, the largest decimal we can from using the numbers (1 to 9) is 9.8 and the smallest decimal we can from using the numbers (1 to 9) is 1.2.

That is, [(a.b) = (9.8)] and [(c.d) = (1.2)]

And, the difference of the Largest Decimal and the least decimal is bound to be the largest.

Therefore, (a.b - c.d)= (9.8 - 1.2) = 8.6.

  • Decimal: relating to or denoting a system of numbers and arithmetic based on the number ten, tenth parts, and powers of ten, a decimal is a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten and whose numerator is expressed by figures placed to the right of a decimal point.

Answer:

(b) 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom numbers are calculated from the 2 above them according to the formula:

c =  15(a + b)

- because:  75 = 15(2 + 3) and  

165 = 15(7 + 4)    

Therefore if the unknown number is x :

285 = 15(14 + x)

285 = 210 + 15x

15x = 285 - 210

15x = 75

x = 5.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

A type I error is committed when a researcher rejects the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

The null hypothesis is: U <= 50%

The alternative is: U > 50%

Thus, the principal could have committed an error by rejecting null hypothesis and concluding that more than 50% of students want earlier lunch, when in actuality 50% or less want earlier lunch.

Suppose the local Barons team wins every game they play with a probability of 0.75. What is the probability that the Barons woul
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The probability is 0.173

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is of winning is 0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4

This means that the probability of losing is 0.25 = 25/100 = 1/4

So if they are two win 4 games, they will lose three

We can get this probability using the Bernoulli approximation of the binomial theorem

So here, we have

P(X = 4) = 7 C 4 * 0.75^4 * 0.25^3

= 0.173034667969

which is approximately 0.1730
