We need to determine whether \frac{11}{128} is a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.

Let's solve this question using the long division method

First, let's identify the divisor and dividend. The number to be divided is 11 hence this is the dividend, and it needs to be divided by 128 which is the divisor

Next, since the divisor (128) is greater than the dividend (11) it can not divide 11. Hence, we will introduce a decimal point in quotient, and append a 0 next to 11 and divide 110 by 128. Again, 128 is greater than 110 so we will introduce a 0 in the quotient, and append another 0 next to 110, and will divide 1100 by 128. We will see what multiple of 128 is less than or equal to 1100. That multiple is 8. So we write 8 in the quotient and multiply 128 with 8 and subtract the product (128*8 = 1024) from 1100. The remainder that we get is 76.

Next, we append a 0 to the remainder and divide 760 by 128. Now, we see what multiple of 128 is less than or equal to 760. That multiple is 5. So we write 5 next to the quotient and multiply 128 with 5 and subtract the product (640) from 760. Now, the remainder is 120.

Next, we append a 0 to the remainder and divide 1200 by 128. Now, we see what multiple of 128 is less than or equal to 1200. That multiple is 9. So we write 9 next to the quotient and multiply 128 with 9 and subtract the product (1152) from 1200. Now, the remainder is 48.

Next, we append a 0 to the remainder and divide 480 by 128. Now, we see what multiple of 128 is less than or equal to 480. That multiple is 3. So we write 3 next to the quotient and multiply 128 with 3 and subtract the product (384) from 480. Now, the remainder is 96.

Next, we append a 0 to the remainder and divide 960 by 128. Now, we see what multiple of 128 is less than or equal to 960. That multiple is 7. So we write 7 next to the quotient and multiply 128 with 7 and subtract the product (896) from 960. Now, the remainder is 64.

Next, we append a 0 to the remainder and divide 640 by 128. Now, we see what multiple of 128 is less than or equal to 640. That multiple is 5. So we write 5 next to the quotient and multiply 128 with 5 and subtract the product (640) from 640. Now, the remainder is 0.

Hence, we have solved the entire problem

Last, we look at the quotient i.e. 0.0859375, which is the solution to the problem. We see that the quotient has a definite number of digits in it, and terminates at 5. Hence, this is a terminating decimal.

A repeating decimal is one in which a particular pattern after the decimal point keeps re-occuring, which is not the case here. Hence, \frac{11}{128} is a terminating decimal.

32.8g of sugar is needed to make 4 cakes. How much sugar is needed for 7 cakes?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

57.4g

Step-by-step explanation:

32.8g of sugar is needed to make 4 cakes. How much sugar is needed for 7 cakes?

From the above questions, we know that:

4 cakes = 32.8g

7 cakes = x g

Cross Multiply

4 × xg = 7 × 32.8g

x = 7 × 32.8g/4

x = 57.4 g

Therefore, 57.4g is needed for 7 cakes

The following data lists the ages of a random selection of actresses when they won an award in the category of Best​ Actress, al
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a) p_v =P(t_{(9)}

The p value is higher than the significance level given 0.01, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And we can say that the true difference for Best Actresses is not significantly lower than the mean for Best​ Actors at 1% of significance.

b) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (-21.469;2.069)

c) We got the same conclusion as part a, sicne the confidence interval contains the value 0, we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the difference between the two

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Let put some notation  

x=actor's age , y = actress's age

x: 58 41 36 36 34 33 48 37 37 43

y: 26 27 34 26 35 29 23 42 30 34

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_y- \mu_x \geq 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_y -\mu_x

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=y_i-x_i and we obtain this:

d: -32, -14, -2, -10, 1, -4, -25, 5, -7, -9

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= -9.7

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =11.451

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{-9.7 -0}{\frac{11.451}{\sqrt{10}}}=-2.679

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a left tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{(9)}

The p value is higher than the significance level given 0.01, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And we can say that the true difference for Best Actresses is not significantly lower than the mean for Best​ Actors at 1% of significance.

Part b

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,9)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=3.25  

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):  

-9.7-3.25\frac{11.451}{\sqrt{10}}=-21.469  

-9.7+3.25\frac{11.451}{\sqrt{10}}=2.069  

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (-21.469;2.069)

Part c

We got the same conclusion as part a, sicne the confidence interval contains the value 0, we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the difference between the two means is 0.
