She has distributed the bracket incorrectly

\frac{1}{2}(64 + 5) - 0.2(- 20 + 10)

= \frac{1}{2}(69) - 0.2 (- 10)

=34.5 + 2

= 36.5

What is the rational number equivalent to 3.24​
aev [14]

Answer:

The rational number equivalent to 3.24 repeating is 321/99

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the decimal number to a rational number we can state this number and its multiples of 10, trying to find two number with identical decimal parts:

n=3.24242424...

10n=32.4242424....

100n=324.2424242...

Now, 100n and n have the same decimal part, then by subtracting these numbers we obtain:

100n-n=324.24242424...-3.24242424... = 321

99n  = 321

n = 321/99

For parts a and bâ, use technology to estimate the following. âa) The critical value of t for a 90â% confidence interval with df
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) For the 90% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2=0.05, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the t distribution with df =3. And we can use the folloiwng excel code: "=T.INV(0.05,3)" and we got:

t_{\alpha/2} =\pm 2.35

b) For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the t distribution with df =106. And we can use the folloiwng excel code: "=T.INV(0.005,106)" and we got:

t_{\alpha/2} =\pm 2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The t distribution (Student’s t-distribution) is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.  

The degrees of freedom represent "the number of independent observations in a set of data. For example if we estimate a mean score from a single sample, the number of independent observations would be equal to the sample size minus one."

Solution to the problem

Part a

For the 90% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2=0.05, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the t distribution with df =3. And we can use the folloiwng excel code: "=T.INV(0.05,3)" and we got:

t_{\alpha/2} =\pm 2.35

Part b

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the t distribution with df =106. And we can use the folloiwng excel code: "=T.INV(0.005,106)" and we got:

t_{\alpha/2} =\pm 2.62
