Answer:

D. √2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any finite-length decimal number, positive or negative, is rational. The square root of a perfect square, such as √4 = √(2²) = 2, is also a rational number.

The number 2 is not a perfect square, so its square root is irrational.

The only irrational number on the list is √2, choice D.

Additional comment

Your calculator can help you identify square roots (and other roots) that are irrational. If the square root has more digits in its decimal fraction than the original number does, then it is irrational.

Examples:

√6.25 = 2.5 . . . . root has 1 decimal digit, original number has 2. This number is rational.

√6.24 ≈ 2.49799919936 . . . . root has an infinite number of decimal digits. The number shown is limited by the available calculator display. It is more digits than the original number has. This number is irrational.

If a number with a decimal fraction is a perfect square, the number of fractional digits in its square root will be half as many as in the original number. Above, 6.25 has 2 fractional digits; its root 2.5 has 1 fractional digit--half as many. (A rational cube root will have 1/3 as many fractional digits.)

Answer:

Population = 75,342 households

Sample = 400 randomly selected households

The percentage who live in a single household unit = Parameter

The average of 2.9 person per household of all households in the city = parameter

The $65,000 median family income of all the households in the city = Parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

The population refers to all the entire elements, observations or subject which fits into a particular study. In the scenario above, the entire household in the city of study. That is, the 75,342 households.

The sample is the subset of the population which is a smaller set of observation meant to be representative of the larger population. The sample here is the 400 randomly selected households.

Parameter differs from statistics in that numerical estimates or calculations obtained from the population is called the parameter while the numerical characteristics derived from the sample is called statistic.

Answer:

11.26 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded region is the difference of areas of semicircle AB and triangle ABC.

ABC is right triangle as AB is diameter, so C is right angle.

Area of semicircle:

A = 1/2πr² = 1/2*3.14*4² = 25.12 cm²

Area of triangle:

A = 1/2BC*AC = 1/2*4* $\sqrt{8^2-4^2}$ = 2 $\sqrt{48}$ = 13.86 cm²

Shaded are is:

25.12 - 13.86 = 11.26 cm²

6.8 x 10^-2

The scientific notation of 70, 030, 000. To find the scientific notation of this value 
1. We first move the period which separates the whole number from the decimal number which is located after the numbers of the given value.
2. We move it in the very recent order number which is seventy million, seven and zero. 
3. It becomes 7.003
4. Thus we count how many moves we did from the tens to the ten million order place. 
5. 7.003 x 10^7
