It's a rational number because it stops, the decimal is irrational if it continues forever without a pattern

Answer:

0.38 is a rational number because it can be expressed as fraction, and it isn't a repeating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Repeating decimals aren't rational, and all rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction, or they aren't rational.

A 500-page book contains 250 sheets of paper. The thickness of the paper used to manufacture the book has mean 0.08 mm and stand

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

250 sheets, each sheet has mean 0.08 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm.

So for the book.

$\mu = 250*0.08 = 20, \sigma = \sqrt{250}*0.01 = 0.158$

What is the probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick (not including the covers)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20.2. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{20.2 - 20}{0.158}$

$Z = 1.27$

$Z = 1.27$ has a pvalue of 0.8980

1 - 0.8980 = 0.1020

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Here is a triangular pyramid and its net.

galben [10]

Answer:

a) Area of the base of the pyramid = $15.6\ mm^{2}$

b) Area of one lateral face = $24\ mm^{2}$

c) Lateral Surface Area = $72\ mm^{2}$

d) Total Surface Area = $87.6\ mm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following dimensions of the triangular pyramid:

Side of triangular base = 6mm

Height of triangular base = 5.2mm

Base of lateral face (triangular) = 6mm

Height of lateral face (triangular) = 8mm

a) To find Area of base of pyramid:

We know that it is a triangular pyramid and the base is a equilateral triangle. $\text{Area of triangle = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} ..... (1)\\$
