1. 376.0 / 92 = ?

2. 376 / 93.01 = ? 

So the question asks us which quotient will be greater. In plain English it is asking which of the two, ?, will be greater. Seeing how the question is asking for a logical answer we are not going to actually solve the problem. Instead we will use logic. 

First let's do some examples, and explain more in-depth how division works.

A. 6/3 = 2
B. 6/2 = 3

In this case, B is greater than A.

Greater than being any number that is larger than another on a scale reading from left to right, so if you were to count out all the way to the number the one that comes first is lower in value than the one that comes second.

Division works like this: Say we have a full delicious pie. We want to divide it up into 12 pieces so all our friends can have some. What we're doing is simply finding a value that if multiplied by 12 would equal our 1 pie. If you instead divided it by 24 you would have even SMALLER pieces of pie. 

A. 5/2
B. 5/3

You might not be able to answer this one, but say our pie is equal to 5. For A. imagine we take a pie and cut it in half. Now for B. imagine a pie and cut it into 3 equal sized pieces. Which one will have the bigger individual pieces? A. will!

Keep in mind that the individual size of the piece would be the quotient (the quotient just means the answer to a division problem).
 
Now to quickly dismiss the 376.0, When you add 0's to the DECIMAL you do not change the value.
If you did then, 0.0 wouldn't still be 0. Or 1.0 wouldn't still be 1. The .0 is just a place holder and signifies nothing. Don't get this confused with adding a zero to the end of a number, because that does change the value (except in the case of 0). 1 with an extra zero becomes 10, and so on. 

So let's tackle this problem!
A. 376.0 / 92
B. 376 / 93.01

In the end the .0 is meaningless so it's the same as this: 
A. 376 / 92
B. 376 / 93.01

All we are looking for is the dividend that is smaller. (A dividend being what is dividing a number. In the case of 4/2 the dividend is 2. 5/2, the dividend is 2. 6/3, the dividend is 3. So in other words the dividend is the number after the division symbol, or in this case the slash (they are the same)).

So let's see, which is smaller? 92, or 93.01.
Whichever is smaller is going to have a bigger slice of pie than the other one. So, 92. Is our answer.

Note that this reasoning worked, because the numerator (376) is the same on both division problems. If they differed we wouldn't be able to use the same logic (at least as easily as we did in this problem!).

If m 2 n, which inequalities must be true? Check all that apply.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(a)\ m+ 2.1 > n + 2.1

(b).\ m - (-4) > n - (-4)

(c)\ 9 +m> 6 + n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m > n

Required

Select true inequalities

(a)\ m+ 2.1 > n + 2.1

Subtract 2.1 from both sides

m > n

This is true

(b).\ m - (-4) > n - (-4)

Open brackets

m + 4 > n + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides

m > n

(c)\ 9 +m> 6 + n

m> -9+6 + n

m> n-3

This is also true

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic equation (x-8)(x+9)
defon

Solve for x in each set of parentheses by setting them to 0:

X -8 = 0

X = 8

X+9 = 0

X =-9

You have two x intercepts (8,0) and (-9,0)

You didn’t list any choices to pick from but it would be either if the ones above.

Manufacturers are testing a die to make sure that it is fair (has a uniform distribution). They roll the die 66 times and record
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

We should reject H0

At the 5% significance level, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the die is not fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis is a statement that is to be tested against the alternative hypothesis and then decision is taken whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The critical value is 15.091 and  test statistic is 11.070. The null hypothesis is rejected or accepted on the basis of level of significance. When the p-value Test statistics is greater than level of significance we fail to reject the null hypothesis and null hypothesis is then accepted. In the given case p-value is less than critical value then we should reject the null hypothesis.
