Two students are in charge of finding how many T-shirts to order for the students that want one. Each student collects sample data. The conclusions are shown. Compare the students' conclusions. Whose inference do you agree with? Explain. If there are 504 students in the school, use the better conclusion to estimate the number of T-shirts the school should order. Student 1: Simple random sample; StartFraction 35 Over 50 EndFraction

said they would like a T-shirt, so order enough for 70% of the school.

Student 2: Systematic sample; StartFraction 51 Over 60 EndFraction

said they would like a T-shirt, so order enough for 85% of the school.

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
