The annual rainfall in a town has a mean of 51.84 inches and a standard deviation of 8.05 inches. Last year there was rainfall o

It is 1.39 standard devaitions away from the mean.

Since the mean x = 51.84 inches and the standard deviation, σ = 8.05 inches.

The amount of rainfall last year was X = 63 inches.

The difference between X and the mean x is d = X - x

= 63 - 51.84 in

= 11.16 in

To find the number of standard devaitions X is from the mean, n, we divide d by the standard deviation,σ.

So, n = d/σ

= 11.16 in/8.05 in

= 1.39

So, it is 1.39 standard devaitions away from the mean.

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

A = \frac{1}{2}

B = \frac{2}{3}

The product:

A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}

A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}

A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}

A * B = \frac{1}{3}

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

A = \frac{1}{2}

B = \frac{2}{3}

The quotient:

A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}

Express as product

A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}

A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}

A / B = \frac{3}{4}

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

x = \frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{2}{3}

The sum:

x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}

Take LCM

x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}

x + y = \frac{7}{6}

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

David's optometrist sold him a bottle of eyeglass cleaner containing 30 ml of glasscleaning solution. assuming there are 20 drop
Furkat [3]
Each complete cleaning requires 6 drops of cleaner.  Let's convert that to ml:

6 drops     1 ml              3 ml cleaner
----------- * ------------- = ------------------- = 0.3 ml cleaner per cleaning
                 20 drops      10 cleanings

Recall that 1 bottle contains 30 ml cleaning fluid.

How many cleanings is one bottle of fluid good for?

1 bottle       0.3 ml
----------- = -----------   => x = 100 cleanings/bottle
      x            30 ml

Plz help ASAP!! Explain your answer! I will mark at brainliest!!! And don’t copy anybody else’s answer
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

No, it is not a square

Step-by-step explanation:

If one wall is 19", that would mean the wall perpendicular to this wall is also 19" (in fact all of the walls would be 19"!) If this was a square, then the diagonal we draw at 20.62" would serve as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  One wall would serve as a leg, and another wall as another leg.  If this is a square, then the Pythagorean's Theorem would be satisfied when we plug in the 2 wall measures for a and b, and the diagonal for c:

19^2+19^2=20.62^2

We need to see if this is a true statement.  If the left side equals the right side, then the 2 legs of the right triangle are the same length, and the room, then is a square.

361 + 361 = 425.1844

Is this true?  Does 722 = 425.1844?  Definitely not.  That means that the room is not a square.
