Answer:

The number has 5 significant digit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided number.

The numbers that contribute to the significance of the total number value are significant figures. All the numbers are significant digit except all leading 0.

Rules:

  • Non-zero digits are significant.
  • If the zeros is in between non-zero digits then it will be significant.
  • If the zeros are leading then they are not significant.
  • If the zeros are at the right of the last non zero digit then they are significant (Trailing Zero).

Now consider the number 0.23350

Since 2, 3, 3 and 5 are non zero digit so they are significant. Here the last zero is also a significant digit because it follows the 4th rule.

Hence, the number has 5 significant digit.

Significant figures are the digits that carry meaning to its measurement. Significant figures includes all the numbers excluding all the leading zeros, trailing zeros. All non zero digits are significant. Zeros between the non zero digits are significant. In a decimal number, trailing zeros are significant.

Now, consider the given number 0.23350

Since, in a decimal number all the trailing zeros are significant.

So, in the number 0.23350 there are five significant figures 2,3,4,5 and 0.

Therefore, there are 5 significant figures in the given number.

The goal of a nutritional study was to compare the caloric intake of adolescents living in rural areas of the US with the calori
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

To give more clarity to the question, lets examine the attached back-to-back stem plot.

A)

Having examined the stem plot, we can using quick calculations, summarize that:

The mean (40.45 cal/kg) and median (41 cal/kg) daily caloric intake of ninth-grade students in the rural school is higher than the corresponding measures of center, mean (32.6 cal/kg) and median (32 cal/kg), for ninth-graders in the urban school.

The median and the mean for the students in the 9th grade in the urban school is lower than that of those of their contemporaries in the rural school. The respective medians and means are stated below:

Urban 9th Grade Students

Median = 32 cal/kg

Mean = 36 cal/kg

Rural 9th Grade Students

Median = 41 cal/kg

Mean = 41 cal/kg

Please note that all figures above have been approximated to the nearest whole number.

B)

It is unreasonable to generalize the findings of this study to all rural and urban 9th-grade students in the United States because the sample is too small compared to the target population size.

To allow for generalization, they would have to collect and analyze more samples say from every state within America.

Cheers!

Can anyone help me with this math problem
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

B.)

Step-by-step explanation:

In step #1 they did the distributive property

2/5 × 15x = 6x

2/5 × -30y = -12y

The new equation would be:

6x - 12y + 10x

<em><u>Further</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Explanation</u></em>

They then combined 6x + 10x to get 16x

16x - 12y

They then factored it out to 4(4x - 3y)
