How do I order rational and irrational numbers from least to greatest

Answer: Rational numbers are any numbers that can be expressed by a fraction with integers in both the numerator and the denominator. The amount of time and paper it takes to put them into an increasing line depends on how many numbers there are and how big of a range they have.

1.Rewrite improper fractions

An improper fraction is a fraction with a bigger numerator than denominator. These numbers can be difficult to compare. For example, numbers such as 26/7, 31/9, 12/5, 8/3 and 22/13 do not have an obvious highest or lowest term. Rewrite improper fractions as mixed numbers or as numbers with decimals. To turn an improper fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. If the denominator is large or a prime number greater than five, use a calculator. For example, divide the numbers 26/7, 31/9, 12/5, 8/3 and 22/13 to create 3.71, 3.44, 2.4, 2.67 and 1.69.

2.Find the highest and lowest terms

Figure out where your number line starts and ends. Put the lowest term on the far left and the highest term on the far right. Remember, negative numbers are lower than positive numbers, and the greater a negative number's distance from zero, the lower it is.

3.Mark benchmark terms

Draw a line extending through your lowest and highest points. Figure out some major points between these values and mark them on your line. For example, if your lowest number is negative 25 and your highest number is 50, find where zero and 25 would be. Mark these as benchmarks or guides.

4.Fill in the remaining numbers

Using your guides, fill in the rest of the numbers. Start with the lowest values on the left and work your way up.

Identify the slope and y-intercept:<br> y = -1/5x+12<br> Slope:<br><br> y-intercept:
ipn [44]

Answer:

Slope: -1/5  y-intercept: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/5x + 12

The equation given is the slope-intercept form, y= mx + b

In this equation, the m, or number in front of the x, is the slope of the line.

The b in the equation represents the y-intercept.

Therefore, according to the given equation, the slope is -1/5 and the y-intercept is 12.

Suppose you own two stocks, A and B. In year 1, stock A earns a 2% return and stock B earns a 9% return. In year 2, stock A earn
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Both the stock have the same expected return.

Step-by-step explanation:

In year 1 the return earned by stocks A and B are:

Stock A = 2% return

Stock B = 9% return

In year 2 the return earned by stocks A and B are:

Stock A = 18% return

Stock B = 11% return

Compute the expected return for stock A as follows:

Expected\ return\ for\ A=\frac{2+18}{2}=10\%

Compute the expected return for stock B as follows:

Expected\ return\ for\ B=\frac{9+11}{2}=10\%

Thus, both the stock have the same expected return.

A hospital’s financial reimbursement payor mix indicates 35% of the patients have Medicare and 15% have Medicaid. Of those who h
Damm [24]

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.035 = 3.5% probability that a hospital patient has both Medicare and Medicaid.

<h3>What is Conditional Probability?</h3>
  • <em>Conditional probability</em> is the <u>probability of one event happening, considering a previous event</u>. The formula is:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

  • P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
  • P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.
  • P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, the events are:

  • Event A: Patient has Medicare.
  • Event B: Patient has Medicaid.

For the probabilities, we have that:

  • 35% of the patients have Medicare, hence P(A) = 0.35.
  • Of those who have Medicare, there is a 10% chance they also have Medicaid, hence P(B|A) = 0.1.

Then, applying the <em>conditional </em>probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

0.1 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{0.35}

P(A \cap B) = 0.35(0.1)

P(A \cap B) = 0.035

0.035 = 3.5% probability that a hospital patient has both Medicare and Medicaid.
