hat they had 408 adult patients. Is the administrator's calculation reasonable? Estimate the number of adult patients by rounding the numbers to check the administrator's calculation.
A) The administrator's calculation is reasonable because my estimate of 500 is fairly close to 408.
B) The administrator's calculation is reasonable because my estimate of 400 is fairly close to 408.
C) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 500 is not close to 408.
D) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 400 is not close to 408.

Hi there!

The correct answer is C) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 500 is not close to 408. Let's use rounding to find our estimate. 423 is close to 400 and 931 is close to 900. If we subtract 400 from 900, we know that there was approximately 500 adults. Since 408 is not near 500, the administrator's calculation is not reasonable. In fact, they were 100 off from the correct calculation, also making it not reasonable.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Answer:

The Answer is C.) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 500 is not close to 408.

Step-by-step explanation:

Round each number to the nearest hundreds.

423 → 400

921 → 900

Estimate = 900 − 400 = 500

Actual number of adult patients = 931 − 423 = 508

The administrator miscalculated the number of adult patients.

What are the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following true conditional? What are the truth values of each?
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>In logic, the converse of a conditional statement is the result of reversing its two parts. For example, the statement P → Q, has the converse of Q → P.

For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the converse is 'if a figure is a parallelogram, then it is rectangle.'
As can be seen, the converse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the converse statement is false.
</span>
The inverse of a conditional statement is the result of negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement. For example, the inverse of P <span>→ Q is ~P </span><span>→ ~Q.
</span><span><span>For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the inverse is 'if a figure is not a rectangle, then it is not a parallelogram.'
As can be seen, the inverse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the inverse statement is false.</span>
</span>
The contrapositive of a conditional statement is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of <span>P → Q is ~Q → ~P. </span>
<span><span>For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the contrapositive is 'if a figure is not a parallelogram, then it is not a rectangle.'
As can be seen, the contrapositive statement is true, hence the truth value of the contrapositive statement is true.</span> </span>
