Answer: √5

2.7 is a rational number because it's a terminating decimal which means that the decimal does end and all terminating decimals are rational numbers.

-3 is a rational number because it's an

integer and all integers are rational.

√4 is rational because it's a perfect square which means that a number can be multiplied by itself to get 4 and that number is 2.

√5 is no rational! It's impossible to find a whole number multiplied by itself to give us 5 which means that it's

non-terminating and non-repeating.

The number of books borrowed from a library each week follows a normal distribution. When a sample is taken for several weeks, t

Marat540 [252]

$\mathbb P(X>250)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-190}{30}>\dfrac{250-190}{30}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.0228$

Or, if you're familiar with the empirical rule and the basic properties of the normal distribution, you can use the fact that approximately $95/%$ of the distribution lies within two standard deviations of the mean, or

$\mathbb P(|Z|$

which means about $5\%$ of the distribution lies outside this interval, or

$\mathbb P((-22))\approx0.05$

Because the distribution is symmetric, you have

$\mathbb P(-22)$
$\implies \mathbb P((-22))=\mathbb P(-22)=2\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.05$
$\implies \mathbb P(Z>2)\approx 0.025$

A contrapositive statement is when you take the original statement, "flip" it around, and write the opposite of the original statement. Here's an example:

<u>Original statement:</u> The grass is wet because it was raining.

<u>Contrapositive statement:</u> It was not raining, so the grass is not wet.

Notice how we "flipped" the original sentence around, as wrote it's "opposite".
