Alejandro rounded the number 76.518 to 76.5. Jiro rounded the same number to 76.52. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning

I believe Jiro is correct because if you want to count change or money in a problem you would need to end the two digits in the hundredths place. If I want to divide 321÷7 to give someone their change, I would round to the nearest hundredth place because that the most of change that could be available in cents.
321÷7=45.857142857 rounded into $45.85
I'm trying to give as must change as there is possible that was created in money which is the hundredth place that represent cents.

not sure if this makes sense but I tried.

Alejandro is correct because you do not need to add another number to 76.518, as Jiro did, but you need to round it to the nearest tenth.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

Karen wants to estimate the mean number of siblings for each student in her school. She records the number of siblings for each

Tamiku [17]

The sample is 200 randomly selected students.

The following things should be considered:

Let us assume the no of siblings for each student be x.
Now for determining the mean no of siblings she choose 200 students.

So, here the sample should be 200 randomly selected students.

Therefore the other options should be incorrect.

Thus we can conclude that the sample is 200 randomly selected students.

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (3,14) and is parallel to y=2/3x -6

Ugo [173]

Y=mx+b
m=slope

paralell ines have same slope
y=2/3x-6
slope is 2/3

the equation of aline that passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
given
(3,14) and slope is 2/3
y-14=2/3(x-3)
y-14=2/3x-2
y=2/3x+12

The percentage of data values that must be within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean for data having a bell-sha

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a. The empirical rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed(bell-shaped) random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

So the correct answer is:

a. The empirical rule.
