<h3>Answer: Irrational</h3>

We cannot write sqrt(12) as a fraction of two whole numbers

Note how sqrt(12) = 3.464 and the decimal portion goes on forever without any known pattern (and it doesnt repeat either).

Compare this to something like sqrt(16) = 4 which can be written as a fraction 4/1, so sqrt(16) is rational

A firm maintains 22 cars for business purposes. From past experience, it is known that approximately 10% will require major engi

seropon [69]

Answer:

The probability that at most 1 car will require major engine repair next year is P=0.3392.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a binomial random variable, with n=22 and p=0.1.

The probability that exavtly k cars will require major engine repair next year is:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}$

Then, the probability that at most 1 car will require major engine repair next year is:

$P(x\leq1)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{22}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{22}=1*1*0.0985=0.0985\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{22}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{21}=22*0.1*0.1094=0.2407\\\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.0985+0.2407\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.3392$
