The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.

Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n 

so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5 
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction 

The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends) 

for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8 
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277... 
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.

Suppose the true proportion of high school juniors who skateboard is 0.18. If many random samples of 250 high school juniors are
madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.024

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Suppose the true proportion of high school juniors who skateboard is 0.18.

This means that p = 0.18

Samples of 250 high school juniors are taken

This means that n = 250

By how much would their sample proportions typically vary from the true proportion?

This is the standard error, so:

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

s = \sqrt{\frac{0.18*0.82}{250}}

s = 0.024

So 0.024 is the answer.
