Sam said the square root of a rational number must be a rational number. Jenna disagreed. She said that it is possible that the

square root of a rational number can be irrational. Who is correct and why?

Jenna is correct because the square root of a rational number can still be irrational.

Take for example the square root of 2. It is an irrational number than goes 1.41421...

If you multiply just the first however many digits of the result by itself, you will never end up with a perfect 2, because the square root is irrational.

A fair dice is rolled 6 times. What is the probability of having no 2 and no 3 among the rolls? Round your answer to three decim
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

64/729

or 0.088 to 3 decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of no 2 and no 3 on one throw of the dices = 4/6 = 2/3.

For 6 rolls we multiply this 6 times because each throw is independent.

The answer is (2/3)^6

=  64/729

or 0.088 to 3 decimal places.

John knows that his first 4 tests grades were 84, 79, 82, and 88. Find John's grade on the test if his average was 83.8. ​
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is the sum of all the grades divided by the number of tests.

83.8 = (84 + 79 + 82 + 88 + x) / 5

419 = 333 + x

x = 86

consider the distribution of monthly social security (OASDI) payments. Assume a normal distribution with a standard deviation of
Orlov [11]

Answer:

\mu = x -  z(\sigma)

\mu = 1214.87 -  0.67(116) \\\\\mu = 1214.87 - 77.72 \\\\\mu = \$1137.15

Therefore, the mean monthly payment is $1137.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

We are asked to find the mean monthly social security (OASDI) payment.

Mean monthly payment = μ = ?

We are given that the standard deviation is $116

One-fourth of payments are above $1214.87

One-fourth means 25%

P(X > x )= P(Z > z ) = 0.25\\\\P(X < x )= P(Z < z) = 1 - 0.25\\\\P(X < x )= P(Z < z) = 0.75\\\\

From the z-table, the z-score corresponding to 0.75 is found to be 0.67

z = 0.67

The mean is found by

x = \mu + z(\sigma)

\mu = x -  z(\sigma)

Where

x = $1214.87

z = 0.67

σ = $116

\mu = 1214.87 -  0.67(116) \\\\\mu = 1214.87 - 77.72 \\\\\mu = \$1137.15

Therefore, the mean monthly payment is $1137.15.
