suppose the leftmost digits of two numbers are 8 and 3. can you tell which number is greater? explain.

1 answer:

6 0

You cannot tell which number is greater because you don't know how many numbers follow after 8 or 3. It all depends on how many numbers follow afterwards.
Example:
It could be 800 or 80,000
It could be 30,000 or 300,000

A six-sided die is rolled 25 times. The number 3 appears eight times. What is the experimental probability of getting a 3?

<h3>Answer in fraction form = 8/25</h3><h3>Answer in decimal form = 0.32</h3><h3>Answer in percent form = 32%</h3>

We have 8 instances of "3" showing up out of 25 total rolls, which is where the fraction 8/25 comes from. Use your calculator to find that 8/25 = 0.32. Or you could multiply top and bottom of 8/25 by 4 to get 32/100 = 0.32 = 32%
