Question 1:

<h3>Answer: The number does <u>not</u> change</h3>

Removing the zero from 0.76 leads to .76 which is the same as before. Both lead to $7.6 \times 10^{-1}$ in scientific notation.

Personally I prefer the zero up front to make the decimal point stand out easier. Of course it's just a preference, so its up to you to decide which you prefer.

===========================================

Question 2:

<h3>Answer: Yes the number changes</h3>

Taking the zero out of 10.25 leads to 1.25 which is definitely a different number (and smaller). Therefore, this zero is a significant digit compared to before.

Taylor surveys students in one grade level who own at least one pet. She finds that 50% of the students surveyed own 2 pets, 3 s

Llana [10]

First, we need to work out the total number of students who were being surveyed.

We know that half of the students has two pets. The rest of the students make up the other half. So, we have 3 students + 2 students + 8 students = 13 students that make half of the sample population

That means total number of students being surveyed is 13+13=26 students

Then we work out the probability
P(One pet) = 8/26 = 4/13
P(Two pets) = 1/2
P(Three pets) = 3/26
P( Four pets) = 2/26 = 1/13

The probability distribution is shown in the table below. Let $x$ be the number of pets and $P(X=x)$ is the probability of owning the number of pets

The values of x and y vary directly

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

y = (1/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

"Direct variation" here signifies y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Then y = kx. Here we are to find k using the info that x = 12 and y = 3:

3 = k(12), or

k = 3/12, or k = 1/4

Then y = (1/4)x

What is the solution to the system y + x = 3 and y - x = 1? *

Oxana [17]

Since y + x = 3, then we could say one of them equals 2 while the other is 1. y - x = 1, then we can say 3 - 1 = 2, so y would be 2 and x would be 1

If the average price of four shoes is 50 dollars, and three of thise pairs are priced at 35 40 and 55, what is the price of thr

Vlad1618 [11]

Maybe the price of the fourth pair is like about fifty dollars because the average of the four shoes are fifty dollars. The other shoe pairs that he/she bought is thirty five, forty and fifty dollars.

So, the price is about fifty dollars.
