When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

1 can be interpreted as a "whole" thing, and smaller than 1 is a part of a thing.

imagine: if you have some cakes and you count the number of cake pieces, those will be more than the number of cakes: as each cake will have more than one piece! (otherwise it wouldn't be called a piece!)

so the result of a division by a fraction is bigger than the original number, there are more parts than wholes in the results, as each whole has multiple parts!

for example: divide 3 cakes into pieces which are 1/4th of a cake. how many such pieces would there be? 12! more than the 3 original cakes;

is this possible to understand? tell me if not!

Why is it important to look at more than the first two numbers of a pattern to decide the rule for the pattern?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

This is important because, the first few numbers might seem to follow a pattern but subsequent numbers might reveal a change in the rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

When studying patterns it is important to evaluate all the figures holistically instead of drawing conclusions based on just the first few numbers because there might be a change in what we felt was obvious on close observance of all the numbers. For example, observe the pattern;

2,4,6, 10, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24

The first two numbers show the addition of two. If a person decides to add 2 to all the figures, he would be wrong because after the first three figures, he would have to add 4 to the numbers.

H₀ : μ = $2,100

H₀ : μ < $2,100

B) Suppose you selects α = 0.01

The probability that the null hypothesis is rejected when the average gain is $2,100 is 0.01

C) For α = 0.01

specify the rejection region of a large sample test

At the given level of significance 0.01 and the test is left-tailed then rejection level of a large-sample = < - 1.28
