A rational number is<em> a number which can be written a ratio of two integers</em>.

In decimal form, a rational number is any number which either <em>terminates </em>or <em>repeats</em> after the decimal point. Since -1.987 terminates after the 7, it <em>is</em> a rational number.

Yes, a finite decimal can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, so is a rational number. Here

-1.987 = \dfrac{-1987}{1000}

Technically we might say that -1.987 is not strictly a rational number because it doesn't have the form of two integers separated by a fraction bar. It does however equal a rational number.

Yes is the answer being sought here.

Trent is 25 years old and works for a company that matches his 401(k) contribution up to 5%. The interest rate for his 401(k) is
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer is : $67,266.16

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a future value question.

As given, Trent puts away 10% of his $32,000 every year and the company will put half amount of $1,600. So, total amount becomes =3200+1600=4800 each year.

Formula for future value or FV is Fv = Pmt (1 + r/n)^(nt) – 1 / (r/n)

Where, Fv = Future Value , Pmt = repeated payments , R = interest rate ,N = total number of payment periods

Putting the values in the formula,

Fv = 4800 (1 + 0.073/1)^(1x10) – 1 (0.073/1)

Fv = $67266.16

Hence, the answer is $67266.16

Which of the following is an example of stratified sampling? A poll asked a random sample of 1,327 adults whether they supported
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

"Proponents of a local ballot measure conduct a survey of the city by randomly selecting 100 potential voters from each of its 18 zip codes" is an example of  stratified sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

The stratifed samplig methos its a probabilistical method that takes all the universe studied and divide this into different groups. In this case the universe is all the population divided into the 18 zip codes).

After that, it randonbly selects the subjects of every group and generates the statistical sample.

In this case, it can be used the proportional stratified samplig where  you take the porportion of voters in every zip code and use ir¡t as the number of voters selected on every zip code.

How does it can be perform? . Let's see: For example:

  • Percentaje on the total population in zip code 1: 18%
  • Number of subjects of zip code 1 in the sample: 18
  • and so on...

So you will have a 100 subject`s sample based on the method of proportional stratified sampling

It can also use the non proportional stratified sampling method taking the same number of subjects on every zip code.

We are given the equation of a line

y = -2x + 1

We have to find the value of y at three different values of x i.e. x = 0, -3 and 1

In order to find the value of y at any given x, simply replace x by that number.

So, for x=0, we will replace x by 0 to find the value of y. So y will be:
y = -2(0) + 1
y = 1
This can be expressed as an ordered pair as (0,1)

Similarly for x=-3, we get
y = -2(-3) + 1 = 6 + 1
y = 7
This can be expressed as an ordered pair as (-3, 7)

And, finally for x=1, we get:
y= -2(1) + 1 = -2 + 1
y = -1
This can be expressed as an ordered pair as (-1, -1)
