Is the fraction 1/3 equivalent to a terminating decimal or a decimal that does not terminate

1 answer:

3 0

<span>1/3 is equivalent to a decimal that does not terminate. A terminating decimal is one that ends. Some decimals never end, however. If you divide 1 by 3 using the standard algorithm, you will get 0.333333... repeating forever. This is a non-terminating decimal, or repeating decimal. In contrast, 1/4 is equal to 0.25, which is a terminal decimal.</span>

5.5 hours. 5 hours and 30 minutes

The total pages she wants to finish (360) minus the pages she has read (112.5) equals to 247.5
Then divide it by the 45 (the rate of pages she reads per hour)
5.5 hours.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The confidence interval is $25.16 < \mu < 26.85$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given a data set

25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3, and 25.7.

The mean of the this sample data is

$\= x = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$

where is the sample size with values n = 10

$\= x = \frac{25.5+ 26.1+ 26.8+23.2+ 24.2+ 28.4+ 25.0+ 27.8+ 27.3+ 25.7}{10}$

$\= x = 26$

The standard deviation is evaluated as

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\= x)}{n} }$

substituting values

$= \sqrt{\frac{ ( 25.5-26)^2, (26.1-26)^2, (26.8-26)^2, (23.2-26)^2}{10} }$

$\cdot \ \cdot \ \cdot \sqrt{\frac{ ( 24.2-26)^2, (28.4-26)^2+( 25.0-26)^2+ (27.8-26)^2+( 27.3-26)^2+( 25.7-26)^2}{10} }$

$\sigma = 1.625$

The confidence level is given as 90% hence the level of significance is calculated as

$\alpha = 100 -90$

$\alpha =10$ %

$\alpha = 0.10$

Now the critical values of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is obtained from the normal distribution table as

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

The reason we are obtaining the critical values of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ instead of $\alpha$ is because we are considering two tails of the area under the normal curve
