What group of numbers does -2 belong to?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Integers and Rational Numbers

Explanation: -2 is an integer because integers include positive an negative numbers. It would not be a whole number or a Naural number because both of those sets only include positive numbers. Here’s a better explanation:

Natural numbers: Natural Numbers are like (1,2,3....). They only include positive numbers. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this category.

Whole Numbers: Whole Numbers are like (0,1,2,3....). They include all the natural numbers with 0. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this set.

Integers: Integers include both positive and negative numbers. They are like (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....). Since they both have positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

Rational Numbers: Rational Numbers include ALL the sets that were described. (Natural, Whole, Integer). Since this set also includes positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

So, -2 belongs in Integers and Rational Numbers

Recent census data indicated that 14.2% of adults between the ages of 25 and 34 live with their parents. A random sample of 125

Answer:

The probability is $P(14 < X < 20 ) = 0.5354$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The proportion that live with their parents is $\r p = 0.142$

The sample size is n = 125

Given that there are two possible outcomes and that this outcomes are independent of each other then we can say the Recent census data follows a Binomial distribution

i.e

$X \ \~ \ B( \mu , \sigma )$
