Option B:

Both n and m must be rational.

Solution:

Given information:

Sum of two numbers, n and m are rational.

<u>To find which statements are true:</u>

Option A: Both n and m may be rational but do not have to be.

It is not true because n and m given is rational.

It have to be rational.

Option B: Both n and m must be rational.

Yes, n and m must be rational then only the sum of numbers are rational.

It is true.

Option C: Both n and m must be irrational.

Sum of irrationals will be sometimes irrational and sometimes can't add.

So it is not true.

Option D: One number is rational and the other is irrational.

Rational and irrational cannot be add.

So it is not true.

Option B is true.

Both n and m must be rational.

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube Root is an odd number so your answer will still be negative in the end. 4x4x4= 64 so cube root 64 will be -4

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! Can someone please help! I don't understand some of these questions :(

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior and exterior angle of a polygon is supplementary

let interior be I

let exterior be E

I + E = 180

Since the interior angle is 8 times that of an exterior angle,

8E + E = 180 [replacing I with 8E]

9E = 180

E = 20

The exterior angle is 20 degrees

I + E = 180

I + 20 = 180

I = 160

The interior angle is 160 degrees.

The equation to find the interior angle of a polygon with 'n' number of sides is:

I = ( (n − 2) × 180 ) ⁄ n

We know the interior angle, so plug it in and solve for n:

160 = ( (n − 2) × 180 ) ⁄ n

160n = (n − 2) × 180

160n = 180n − 360

-20n = -360

n = 18

It is believed that Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per nig

Kitty [74]

Answer: No , at 0.05 level of significance , we have sufficient evidence to reject the claim that LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu$ denotes the average hours of sleep per night.

As per given , we have

$H_0:\mu=7\\H_a:\mu$

, since $H_a$ is left-tailed and population standard deviation is unknown, so the test is a left-tailed t -test.

Also , it is given that ,

Sample size : n= 22

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=7.24$

Sample standard deviation : s= 1.93

Test statistic : $t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

i.e. $t=\dfrac{7.24-7}{\dfrac{1.93}{\sqrt{22}}}\approx0.58$

For significance level $\alpha=0.05$ and degree of freedom 21 (df=n-1),

Critical t-value for left-tailed test= $t_{\alpha, df}=t_{0.05,21}=- 1.7207$

Decision : Since the test statistic value (0.58) > critical value 1.7207, it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis .

[Note : When $|t_{cal}|>|t_{cri}|$ , then we accept the null hypothesis.]

Conclusion: We have sufficient evidence to reject the claim that LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average.
