Is 5.26 a rational or irrational number

1 answer:

7 0

5.26 is equivalent to 526/1000, which is the ratio of two integers. 526/1000 can, in turn, be reduced to 263/500, which is the same (ratio). Thus, 5.26 is rational.

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) 0.0537 = 5.37% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes

b) 0.9871 = 98.71% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mildly obese:

Mean 376 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes, which means that $\mu = 376, \sigma = 67$

Sample of 6

This means that $n = 6, s = \frac{67}{\sqrt{6}} = 27.35$

Lean

Mean 520 minutes and standard deviation 110 minutes, which means that $\mu = 520, \sigma = 110$

Sample of 6

$n = 6, s = \frac{110}{\sqrt{6}} = 44.91$

A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 420, using the mean and standard deviation for mildly obese people. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{420 - 376}{27.35}$

$Z = 1.61$

$Z = 1.61$ has a pvalue of 0.9463

1 - 0.9463 = 0.0537

0.0537 = 5.37% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

B) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 420, using the mean and standard deviation for lean people. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{420 - 520}{44.91}$

$Z = -2.23$

$Z = -2.23$ has a pvalue of 0.0129

1 - 0.0129 = 0.9871

0.9871 = 98.71% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes

a. To solve for the greatest common factor (GCF), we can determine the prime factors of 6, which is 2 and 3. Then for the other number, we can do the exact same thing. The prime factors of 8 are 1, 2, and 4. When matching the all the prime factors together, we notice that 2 is in both the prime factors.

This means that the GCF of 6 and 8 is 2.

b. To factor the GCF of 6 and 8, we can use the prime factors of both 6 and 8. That means:

6 + 8 = 2 × (3 + 4).

AB and CD intersect at point E if measure angle AED equals 6x-24 and measure angle CEB equals 4y+32 find the values of x and y s

Zolol [24]

The values of x and y such that AB is perpendicular to CD will be 19 and 14.5.

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>

The angle is the distance between the intersecting lines or surfaces. The angle is also expressed in degrees. The angle is 360 degrees for one complete spin.

AB and CD intersect at point E.

If measure angle AED equals 6x – 24 and measure angle CEB equals 4y + 32.

Then the values of x and y such that AB is perpendicular to CD will be

6x – 24 = 90

6x = 114

x = 19

Then we have

4y + 32 = 90

4y = 58

y = 14.5
