A Below is a proof showing that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number a IS an irrational number.
Let a be a rational number and b be an irrational number.
Assume that a + b = x and that x is rational.
Then b = x - a=x+(-a).
X + (-a) is rational because
However, it was stated that b is an irrational number. This is
contradiction.
Therefore, the assumption that x IS rational in the equation a + b = x must be incorrect, and x should be an irrational
number.
In conclusion, the sum of a rational number and a an irrational number is irrational.
Which of the following best completes the proof?
• it is the sum of two rational numbers
• it is the sum of two irrational numbers
• it represents a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.
C its terms cannot be combined. Mom

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
