Is the number 25/9 irrational?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No; it is rational.  25/9 is the ratio of two integers.

Answer: No, it is not irrational

Explanation:

We have a fraction of two integers, so 25/9 is rational. A rational number is any fraction of two integers (as long as the denominator is not zero).

Something that is irrational would be pi = 3.14159... where we cannot write it as a fraction of two integers. We can get approximations such as 22/7, but we cannot land exactly on pi with a fraction like this. Another irrational value is sqrt(2).

Something like sqrt(25) is rational though because sqrt(25) = 5 = 5/1.

Daniel says that when the irrational number 7√3 is multiplied by any rational number, the product is always an irrational number. What value for the rational number disproves Daniel's claim?

Answers

Answer: 0

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

Explanation:

When we multiply 0 by any number, we get 0 as a result

x*0 = 0

0*x = 0

for any number x.

The number 0 is rational since we can write it as a fraction of two integers

0 = 0/1

If Daniel were to correct his statement to say "multiply by any nonzero rational number", then his statement would be correct that the result is irrational.

----------------------------------------------

Extra info:

Here's a proof showing why Daniel's claim is correct if we consider nonzero rational numbers

Let p be a nonzero rational number, so p = a/b for integers a,b where neither a or b are zero

Let q be an irrational number. We cannot write q as a ratio of two integers

The claim is that p*q is irrational. For now let's assume the opposite. So assume p*q is rational. This means p*q = r/s for integers r,s

This would be the same as (a/b)*q = r/s which solves to q = (r/s)*(b/a) = (rb)/(sa) making q rational, but that contradicts the fact we made q irrational earlier.

Therefore, the assumption p*q is rational cannot be the case, and p*q must be irrational.

Answers

Complete Question

A scientist believes the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4 pci or less. The scientist tests the composition for 36 days finding an average concentration of 4.4 pci with a sample standard deviation of 1 pci.

a) In testing the scientist's belief, write the appropriate hypotheses:

           [tex]H_o:[/tex]                   Ha:

b) What decision should be made?

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu \le 4 \ pci[/tex]

The  alternative  hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu > 4 \ pci[/tex]

b

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4pci or less

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  [tex]\mu = 4 \ pci[/tex]

    The sample size [tex]n = 36 \ days[/tex]

     The  sample  mean is  [tex]\= x = 4.4 \ pci[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 1 \ pci[/tex]

       The  level  of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 4 \ pci[/tex]

The  alternative  hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu > 4 \ pci[/tex]

  Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

          [tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>      [tex]t = \frac{ 4.4 - 4 }{ \frac{ 1}{ \sqrt{36} } }[/tex]

=>      [tex]t = \frac{ 4.4 - 4 }{ \frac{ 1}{ \sqrt{36} } }[/tex]

=>      [tex]t =2.4[/tex]

The  p-value  is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p-value = P(Z > 2.4 )[/tex]

From the  z-table  

          [tex]P(Z > 2.4 ) = 0.008[/tex]

    [tex]p-value =0.008[/tex]

So from this obtained value  we see that

     [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] so we reject the null hypothesis

Hence we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the concentration of radon gas in the air is greater that the established safe level of 4pci or less

At the dairy farm, two cows produce enough milk to fill 7 equal sized buckets. Each cow produces the same amount of milk. What is the rate per bucket per cow?

Answers

Answer:

3.5 buckets per cow

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Buckets = 7\ equal\ sized[/tex]

Required

Determine the rate per bucket per each cow

From the question, we understand that both cows produced same quantity of milk;

And since, they're are two cows

Milk produced by each cow is calculated by dividing number of buckets by 2; as follows;

[tex]Each\ cow = \frac{7}{2}\ buckets[/tex]

[tex]Each\ cow = 3.5\ buckets[/tex]

Hence, the rate is 3.5 buckets per cow

Y A chemist can purchase a 10% saline solution in 500 cubic centimeter containers, a 20% saline solution in 500 cubic centimeter containers, and a 50% saline solution in 1,000 cubic centimeter containers. He needs 12,000 cubic centimeters of 30% saline solution. How many containers of each type of solution should he purchase in order to form this solution

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

ultimately you need to end up with 30% solution

with 10%, 20%, and 50%, you are forced to tamper with the various percentages to reach the desired goal.

Since it is an even 12,000 (i.e. no 12500) and you have no hard container volumes to deal with, therefore find the easiest combination to reach 30%. In this case, (10%+50%)/2 = 30%

So therefore you need 12000 cubic centimeters of liquid, half of it being 50% and half being 10%.

12000/2 = 6000 cubic centimeters each

for 50%, each container is 1,000 cubic centimeters, so 6000/1000 =6 containers  for 10% each container is 500 cubic centimeters, so 6000/500 = 12 containers

Therefore, you need 6 containers of 50% solution and 12 containers of 10% solution.

Find the odds in favor of rolling the sum of 10 when rolling a pair of dice

A 11 to 1

B 1 to 3

C 1 to 11

D 3 to 1

Answers

Answer:

C 1 to 11

Step-by-step explanation:

When rolling 2 dice, there are 36 possible outcomes.

The outcomes that have a sum of 10 are:

4, 6

5, 5

6, 4

There are 3 outcomes of 10 and 33 outcomes of not 10.

Odds of outcome of 10:

3:33 = 1:11

1 to 11 is the odds in favor of rolling the sum of 10 when rolling a pair of dice option (C) is correct.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

It is given that:

A standard dice is rolled:

The total number of outcomes(two dice are rollling) = 6x6 = 36

The outcomes that have a sum of 10 = ({4, 6}, (5, 5), (6, 4)}

The total number of outcomes = 3

Total outcomes(after removing 3 outcomes that have a sum of 10)

= 36 - 3 = 33

Odds of outcomes = 3

The odds in favor = 3/33 = 1/11 or 1 to 11

Thus, 1 to 11 is the odds in favor of rolling the sum of 10 when rolling a pair of dice option (C) is correct.

Landon usually eats two slices of pizza from a 12 inch pizza cut into 6 slices. I make homemade pizza on a rectangular cookie sheet that is 10 inches by 15 inches and I cut it into 8 rectangular pieces. How many slices of this homemade pizza will Landon proabably eat

Answers

Answer:

He will eat 0.233 of one slice

Step-by-step explanation:

If Landon eats only two slices of pizza from a 12 inch pizza cut into 6

It means each slice has 2 inch pizza and Landon eats 2 of these

So Landon eats 2*2 = 4 inch pizza

So a rectangular pizza of 10 by 15

= 10*15

= 150 inch pizza

Cut into 8 slices

= 150/8

.= 18.75 inch per slice

4/18.75 = 0.233

He will eat 0.233 of one slice

19. In each of the following ligures, find the values of x and y​

Answers

Answer:

x and y is 115 exterior angle property

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x = 65, y=50}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

→ We know that angles on a straight line add up to 180° so we can use that to work out angle x

x + 115° = 180°

⇒ Minus 115° from both sides to isolate x

x = 65°

→ We can see that there are 2 angles labelled x so we can use that to find the value of y

65° × 2 = 130°

→ We utilise the angle fact that angles in a triangle add up to 180°

130° + y = 180°

⇒ Minus 130° from both sides to isolate y

y = 50°

Dionysus was grateful to Midas for treating his friend so well, and he offered to grant Midas one wish. (4) "I wish that everything I touch would turn to gold!" Midas exclaimed without thinking.
