Decimal

several years. However, it is necessary for the growth of our economy. Let’s explore both sides of the issue. Firstly, the metric system is very easy to learn. Anyone can do it! It uses factors of 10 and is fixed on decimals. Therefore, determining units is as elementary as moving the decimal point to the left or right the required number of spaces. At this point we are using two…

Introduction The purpose today’s experiment was to test out the concepts of moles, mass, and atoms by separating two metals. The galvanized iron was measured to two decimal places in centimeters then weighed for mass to three decimal places in grams. The galvanized iron was then stripped of it’s layer of zinc by using hydrochloric acid. The chemical reaction of the experiment is shown below: 2 HCl (aq) + Zn(s)----> H2 (g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) Once the iron was free of the zinc…

A non-recurring decimal may have a recurring representation based on how Python stores it. Thus, it may approximate it to the nearest decimal value with a non-recurring binary counterpart. It‘s not an issue to be worried about right now as the value is different by a very miniscule amount. Also, GPA's are usually rounded off to about two decimal places. We needed to provide an ‘if statement’ to check if the total number of credits…

Discuss what descriptive statistics were used well in the Coffman article Descriptive statistics are is by researchers to describe, compare, and to characterize a relationship. (Polit, 2010) “Descriptive Statistics are used to present quantitative and qualitative descriptions in a manageable form” (Trochim, 2006). Coffman study on the the effects of tangible social support and depression on diabetes self efficacy in Hispanic older adults, demonstrated appropiate and good use of descriptive…

The pertinent information for the x-variable are as follows (the data will be to two decimal spaces): the mean 80.52, the median 20, the mode , the range 40, and the standard deviation 135.14. The scatter plot does not depict a concrete linear at all. It does show that there are a few outliers. The histogram produces the best results clearly…

We will now demonstrate how to set up custom fields in the SSR. Custom Fields can be used to create additional fields for variables that you would like to track for your cases. You may have specific items you want to add to your form. To begin, select form management from the SSR menu and click on “Custom Fields”. We will now give an overview of the form management page. The initial form management table will be empty until data is entered. After you have created your custom fields, they…

So they adopted the new Indian way of doing math using numbers from 1234567890. This made doing long division and multiplication easier. However, it was still impossible to do advanced geometry because the decimal point did not exist so they created it. They also invented modern day algebra. After these major advancements it was still hard to get a good education so the Sultan made a royal decree to make Arabian the state language. Soon after the arabic language…

From the ancient world until the 14th century, pyramids were amongst the tallest buildings in the world (En.wikipedia.org, 2017). The reason for building the pyramids is unknown but historians seem to agree that pyramids were built as a burial site for the pharaohs. The first pyramid was the pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara (Mark, 2016). This pyramid was built, for the pharaoh of the time, to be used as a tomb. The pyramid was made of mainly stone, as were the other pyramids later built.…

investment from the end of year value. This will give you how much you have earned over the course of a year. The amount that you earned is then divided by the initial investment, which most likely will give you a decimal. To convert the decimal to a percentage you would multiply the decimal by 100. Just add a percent sign to whatever your answer is and you will have your rate of return for that year. Let’s say you buy a share of stock $100 dollars, at the end of the year the value is now $105,…

are seven fundamental units that have absolute standards based upon observable physical phenomena. Each unit can be made larger or smaller by means of prefixes. The prefixes assign values based upon the decimal system. Typically, SI prefixes represent spans of one thousand, although other decimal values are used for convenience. It is possible to generate new units of measure within SI by using a prefix that corresponds to an appropriate power of ten. Thus, SI has reproducible standards,…
