To find a fraction as a decimal you would divide the denominator by the numerator.

Decimal:
-3/8 = -.375

Then for the percentage you would move the decimal two places to the right.

Percentage:
-37.5 (Since the number to the right isn't a zero we can't drop it) therefore the percentage would be -37.5%

What's the following rotational symmetries of oranges regular hexagon

Semmy [17]

Answer:

rotational symmetry of 60 degrees around the origin - yes

rotational symmetry of 120 degrees around the origin - yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagon has 6 congruent angles

the the angles created on the line of symmetry are equal to 60 so the angle of rotational symmetry is 60 degrees.

The regular hexagon, like stated before, has 6 congruent angles so the order of symmetry is 6

The water diet requires you to drink two cups of water every half hour from the time you get up until you go to bed, but otherwi

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$7-3.182 \frac{13.638}{\sqrt{4}}= -14.698$

$7+3.182 \frac{13.638}{\sqrt{4}}= 28.698$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

Weight before diet 180 125 240 150

Weight after diet 170 130 215 152

We define the random variable $D = before-after$ and we can calculate the inidividual values:

D: 10, -5, 25, -2

And we can calculate the mean with this formula:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And the deviation with:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i- \bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$\bar D= 7, s_d = 13.638$

And the confidence interval for this case would be given by:

$\bar D \pm t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1= 4-1=3$

For the 95% of confidence the value for the significance is $\alpha=0.05$ and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}= 3.182$ . And replacing we got:
