Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number are numbers that can be expressed as as fraction. They can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. An irrational is quite the opposite.  An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.

Taking square root of two as an example;

√2 cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers because the result will always be a decimal. If expressed as √2/1, it is still not a rational number because of the square root of 2 at the numerator. Square root of 2 is not an integer even though 1 is an integer.

Mark is wrong because √2 is irrational and it is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers <em>not due to the fact that he can write it as a fraction.</em>

Is (2,2) a solution of the system
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Hi, you don't provide us with the system here...

to figure out if 2,2 is a solution of the system, you have to plug the value of 2 in for both x and y in the system, and solve to see if it comes out or not...

If you provide the system I can definitely help you out more specifically!

2) f(x) = x² **<br> g(x)= 3x – 2<br> Find f(g(-4)
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

f(g( - 4)) = 196

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions are;

f(x) =  {x}^{2}

and

g(x) = 3x - 2

We want to find

f(g( - 4))

First we find g(-4) to get:

g( - 4) = 3 \times  - 4 - 2

g( - 4) =  - 12- 2

g( - 4) =  - 14

Now

f(g( - 4)) = f( - 14)

This implies that,

f(g( - 4)) = {( - 14)}^{2}

f(g( - 4)) = {( - 14)} \times  - 14

f(g( - 4)) = 196

A supervisor finds the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work. He finds x=29 and s=3.6 . Which s
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Option 3 is right

z37 is between 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable which represents the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work

X is normal (N(29,3.6)

WE have to find Z score for X

Z =\frac{x-29}{3.6}

=2.22

i.e. 37 is 2.22 std deviations from the mean.

In other words, z37 is between 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In a study of the impact of smoking on birth weight, researchers analyze birth weights (in grams) for babies born to 189 women w
kompoz [17]

Answer:

c. Smoking is associated with lower birth weights. When smokers are compared to nonsmokers, we are 95% confident that the mean weight of babies born to nonsmokers will be between 76.5 grams to 486.9 grams more than the mean birth weight of babies born to smokers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in mean birth weights (nonsmokers minus smokers) is 281.7 grams with a margin of error of 205.2 grams with 95% confidence.

Then, we know that the 95% confidence interval is (76.5, 486.9)

LL=M-MOE=281.7-205.2=76.5\\\\UL=M-MOE=281.7+205.2=486.9

<em>a. We are 95% confident that smoking causes lower birth weights by an average of between 76.5 grams to 486.9 grams.</em>

False, it interprets the confidence interval as a probability for individual cases. The confidence interval is a range for the population mean.

<em>b. There is a 95% chance that if a woman smokes during pregnancy her baby will weigh between 76.5 grams to 486.9 grams less than if she did not smoke.</em>

False, it interprets the confidence interval as a probability for individual cases. The confidence interval is a range for the population mean.

<em>c. Smoking is associated with lower birth weights. When smokers are compared to nonsmokers, we are 95% confident that the mean weight of babies born to nonsmokers will be between 76.5 grams to 486.9 grams more than the mean birth weight of babies born to smokers.</em>

True.

<em>d. With such a large margin of error, this study does not suggest that there is a difference in mean birth weights when we compare smokers to nonsmokers.</em>

There is enough evidence, as the lower bound of the confidence is positive. This means that there is only a probability of 0.05/2=0.025 that the true mean weight difference is smaller than 76.5 grams.
