The percentage decrease is 85% of 480, which is computed as follows:

$480\cdot\frac{85}{100}=408$

The new amount is obtained by subtracting this decrease to the original value, as follows:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ new amount = original amount - percentage decrease} \\ \text{ new amount = 480 - 408} \\ \text{ new amount = 72} \end{gathered}$

We are given the length of AC and AB to be 20 and 6, respectively, so we can subtract 6 from 20 to find BC to be 14 cm.

The circumference of a circle is equal to $2 \pi r$

$C=2 \pi (14) = 28 \pi$

The answer is approximately 87.96 cm

A researcher wants to test whether a certain sound will make rats do worse on learning tasks. It is known that an ordinary rat c

AveGali [126]

Answer:

So we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis that rats learn slower with sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this data we have

Mean= u = 18

X= 38

Standard deviation = s= 6

1) We formulate the null and alternate hypothesis as

H0: u = 18 against Ha : u > 18 One tailed test .

2) The significance level alpha = ∝= 0.05 and Z alpha has a value ± 1.645 for one tailed test.

3)The test statistics used is

Z= X- u / s

z= 38-18/6= 3.333

4) The calculated value of z = 3.33 is greater than the z∝ = 1.645

5) So we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis that rats learn slower with sound.

First we set the criteria for determining the true of value of the variable. That whether the rats learn in less or more than 18 trials.

Then we find the value of z for the given significance value given and the test about to be checked.

Then the test statistic is determined and calculated.

Then both value of z and z alpha re compared. If the test statistics falls in the rejection region reject the null hypothesis and conclude alternate hypothesis is true.

The figure shows that the calulated z value lies outside the given z values

How do you know if a square root of something is rational or irrational? like i know it can be represented by a fraction or a ra

ra1l [238]

The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.

Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n

so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction

The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends)

for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277...
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.
