Answer: False, the decimal form of a rational can repeat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers when in decimal form can either be terminating or repeating. So the answer to the question is false because they can repeat.

There is a relationship between confidence interval and standard deviation:
$\theta=\overline{x} \pm \frac{z\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
Where $\overline{x}$ is the mean, $\sigma$ is standard deviation, and n is number of data points.
Every confidence interval has associated z value. This can be found online.
We need to find the standard deviation first:
$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}$
When we do all the calculations we find that:
$\overline{x}=123.8\\ \sigma=11.84$
Now we can find confidence intervals:
$($90\%,z=1.645): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.645\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm5.0\\($95\%,z=1.960): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.960\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 5.99\\ ($99\%,z=2.576): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{2.576\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 7.87\\$
We can see that as confidence interval increases so does the error margin. Z values accociated with each confidence intreval also get bigger as confidence interval increases.

Sean has some candy bars that he wants to give away. He is going to give each person 1/18 of a bar, and he has 2 3/4 to give awa

julsineya [31]

Answer:

49 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of candy and divide by the amount in a serving

2 3/4 ÷ 1/18

Change to an improper fraction

(4*2+3)/4 ÷ 1 /18

11/4 ÷ 1/18

Copy dot flip

11/4 * 18/1

198/4

49.5

Round down since people do not want half a serving

Find the value of x 90, 68 2x

Ivan

Answer:

2x + x +90= 180 We will add 2x + x=3x We get 3x + 90 =180 Now we subtract 3x = 180–90 ... x=30, for confirmation put value of x =30in equation and verify. LHS=RHS. Thats it. 68 views.
