it's irrational

A rational number can be put over a fraction, while this number continues forever

I will try to make this as simple as possible.

First off, we need to know what a rational number is: A rational number is any number that can be made by dividing 2 integers. For example:

1.5 would be a rational number because 1.5 = 3/2 (3 and 2 are both integers)

With that being said, let's begin.

First off, let's start with -0.3, let's ask ourselves, can we make this number by dividing 2 integers, the answer is yes, we can, by doing we have the equivalent of -0.3, so now we know it's a rational number.

As for the second one, it can't be a rational number because it can't be made by dividing to integers, so the answer is:

-0.3 is a rational number, but 3.14144144414444 is not.

Hope this helped! c:

The table is not clear, so i have attached it.

Answer:

z statistic is -2.26

This is less than our alpha level,therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportion of homeowners between first generation and second generation Hispanic Americans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached table, we can see that;

first-generation hispanic americans; (N = 899 and percentage = 43%

second-generation hispanic americans; N = 351 and percentage = 50%

first-generation asian americans; (N = 2,684 and percentage = 58%

second-generation asian americans; N = 566 and percentage = 51%

Z-score formula in this case is;

z = (p1^ - p2^)/(√(p^(1 - p^)((1/n1) + (1/n2))

Where;

p^ = (p1 + p2)/(n1 + n2)

For, hispanic americans we have;

p1^ = 0.43 × 899 = 386.57

p2^ = 0.5 × 351 = 175.5

p^ = (386.57 + 175.5)/(899 + 351)

p^ = 0.45

Thus;

z = (0.43 - 0.5)/(√(0.45(1 - 0.45)((1/899) + (1/351))

z = -2.26

From z-distribution table, we have;

P-value = 0.01191

Since we have 2 samples, then probability = 2 × 0.01191 = 0.02382

This is less than our alpha level of 0.05,therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportion of homeowners between first generation and second generation Hispanic Americans.
