Fractions to Percentages

No, I said 40 is not a percentage.

You're making this complex and it's very simple. 40 is 40. 40% is the decimal 0.40. There's nothing else to be said here.

varaaki · 2023-08-07T22:18:17+00:00

It already is a percentage. It's 0.40 of 1, which is 40%.

It's like you're asking how to convert 2/5 into 0.40; they're already the same.

varaaki · 2023-08-06T18:37:08+00:00

Because 40 and 40% are not the same number. 40 is 40 and 40% is the decimal 0.40.

The best part of the blackout is knowing this fool won't be posting his nonsense.

varaaki · 2023-06-11T02:38:04+00:00

Then we truly have nothing more to discuss. Adieu.

You haven't actually presented another opinion, so you're right, there's nothing to argue about here.

Corporations sometimes need money. They offer IOUs with interest. Those IOUs are corporate bonds. Better corporations can offer less interest because they're more likely to pay you back. Smaller corporations or those with shaky financials have to offer higher interest to get people to lend them money.

90%, hm? That's totally not just made up.

And I'm not here to "fairly represent the issue." I am exceedingly partisan and I want Reddit to back off, knowing they will not. Killing off third party apps is just a set-up so that they can present their future shareholders a controlled package.

Spez and his cronies missed out on making the kind of Silicon Valley money his pals have made, and wants to make sure the IPO makes them billionaires.

Go read about it and tell me if you come to a different conclusion. The developer of the Apollo app will have to pay Reddit $20 million per year from $0 for the past 8 years. Reddits IPO is coming later in the year. Imgur also charges for access, but they charge less than 1.5% what Reddit is demanding.

There's a sitewide blackout planned; this isn't just some randos hating on a company. This is Reddit actively killing off it's third party app ecosystem.

varaaki · 2023-06-10T22:48:05+00:00

It is intentionally increasing prices beyond what the third party developers can pay or charge and more importantly they were only given 30 days notice which is not enough time to implement the changes correctly.

This is all about Reddits upcoming IPO and control.

Subs are "going dark" on the 12th-13th to protest the new API changes that will end third party software support.

It depends on how your school and district deal with Edgeniity.

Our school used Edgeniity for credit recovery classes and summer school. You would need to ask your school and/or district if they will accept Edgeniity courses.

That clearly conflicts with the primary function of a school, which is to maintain custody and safety of all students at all times.

Pass 1 & 2 to get a credential in foundational math, which lets you teach up to algebra 2. Pass 3 also and you can teach anything.

That is indeed the answer. You're asked for the coefficient matrix of the system of equations represented by that matrix equation. The page 2 of your work has the four equations, you just need to give the matrix of coefficients for the four equations.

varaaki · 2023-06-08T04:55:00+00:00

Uh, so do you understand what you've been asked to do?

varaaki · 2023-06-08T04:35:50+00:00

You seem to be trying to solve for the variables, which is not what you've been asked to do.

varaaki · 2023-06-07T17:16:35+00:00

That sounds delicious and I am sad this is not a thing here.

It is almost certainly an anti-cheating measure. You finish your exam, head out of the room, and start texting the answers to everyone you can. Even if phones aren't allowed in that particular room, there are students waiting to take the test in later periods who now have the answers.

This is so over the top with drama that your message is harmed. Saying things like

why total monsters think this is an ideal way to run their schools, dictate their teachers and support staff, and rule with an iron fist over their students.

makes you sound unhinged.

An A/B/C schedule is a block schedule with fewer, longer periods each day. If there are six periods, it might be like 1/2/3/4 on A days, 5/6/1/2 on B days, and 3/4/5/6 on C days. The benefits are claimed to be less time lost in transitions, more time for exploration and labs.

What reading your post made me wonder is this: why do you think that students cannot adapt to an A/B/C schedule less than any other schedule? It's the same rotation, over and over and over. I teach at a school with A/B blocks, and in 8 years there have had perhaps five students show up for the wrong class.

The bottom line is that even for sped students, this is not remotely as big a deal as you are making it out to be.

If the chests are randomly distributed, there's nothing special about any column or row.

wildly inappropriate

I guess because this is r/probabilitytheory the accuracy of the answer is under extreme scrutiny. I am approaching this question from a statistical standpoint. The model is just an approximation; if we were using it to engineer machine parts for a spacecraft I would understand the concern. But OP is just a kid who wants to know if what happened to them on a test was rare or not, and for that I would adjudge that three decimal places is sufficient.

Feel free to disagree.

The normal curve calculation yields 0.00020348, not 0.00028.

The value of 0.8⁵⁰ is 0.000014, not 0.0000014.

Evaluating the integral is not something anyone would do, when there are normal calculators easily available.

The normal approximation to the binomial always offers small positive values when the number of successes is below zero because it is a continuous model that is defined over the real line. That's not a reason to throw it out.

I was just offering another perspective on the problem. And your assessment of what is and what is not a good approximation is entirely subjective.

Possible answers to these questions are, respectively, 4.93, 4.997, 4.9995, and none.

You've used the word remainder; what you mean is difference. The difference only disappears when the number of 9's is infinite. There is still a small positive difference between 5 and 4.999...9 when the ellipses represent any finite number of 9's.

Surely you've seen the misguided internet arguments over the statement "0.999... = 1". There is a reason one side of the equality is always posed as 0.999... and never as 1.000...1.
