He found early methods to make quick money and also discovered probability.  His work was ground-breaking, though not always correct.  One of his card equations showed a 2/3 chance of winning, but actually only gave 1/5th!

Miguel buys a large bottle and a small bottle of juice. The amount of juice that the manufacturer puts in the large bottle is a
fomenos

Answer:

Pr(X>1540.2) = 0.0655

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value of large bottle,

E(Large) = 1016

Expected value of small bottle,

E(small) = 510

Expected value of total

E(total) = 1016 + 510 = 1526

So the new mean is 1526

Find standard deviation of new amount by variance

Variance of large bottle,

v(large) = 8^2 = 64

Variance of small bottle,

v(small) = 5^2 = 25

Variance of total

v(total) = 64+25 = 89

So the new standard deviation

sd(new) = sqrt(89) = 9.434

Find probability using the new mean and s.d.

Pr(X>1540.2)

Z score, z = (x-mean)/sd

= (1540.2 - 1526)/9.434

= 1.505

value in z score

P(z<1.51) = 0.9345

For probability of x > 1540.2

P(z > 1.51) = 1 - 0.9345 = 0.0655

Check each set that includes the number shown.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Fourth option.

Sixth option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

- Any number you can find on the number line, is a Real number.

- Integers contains positive numbers, negative numbers and zero. Every Integer is a Rational number.

- A Rational number is that number that can be written in the following form:

\frac{a}{b}

Where "a" and "b" are integers (b\neq 0).

- An Irrational number cannot be written as a simple fraction.

- A Whole number is any of the numbers {{0, 1, 2, 3...}}. Every Whole number is a Rational number.

- Natural numbers contain  the set of positive integers{{1, 2, 3...}} or to the set of nonnegative integers {{0, 1, 2, 3...}}, Every Natural number is a Rational number.

 Based on this, since \frac{5}{9} is in the form \frac{a}{b} where a=5 and b=9, it is a Rational Number and therefore a Real number.
