Answer: 0.12579835781

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the decimal in this problem does not terminate. Therefore, in order to decide whether it's rational or irrational, we need to determine whether the decimal is a repeating decimal.

Since there seems to be no pattern fore the digits in this decimal, we say that the decimal is non-repeating.

When a decimal is both non-repeating and non-terminating, it's classified as an irrational number.

One irrational number is π, also known as pi. A rational number is one that can be written as a ratio of two integers (whole numbers). Pi goes on forever, so it can't be written as a ratio. Therefore, π is irrational.

A small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company for over 10 years. So remaining 75 are between 5 and 10 years.

Suppose that one employee is selected at random from a list of the employees

A) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm less than 5 years = $\frac{50}{250 } \\= 0.20$
