A student wrote a proof about the product of two rational numbers: Let x = a/b and let y = c/d, where a and c are defined to be integers, and b and d are nonzero integers.
By substitution, xy = ac/bd.
By applying the closure property of integers and nonzero integers on multiplication, ac is an integer and bd is a nonzero integer.
What conclusion can the student now make about the product xy?
A- the product xy is a nonzero Integer because nonzero Integers are closed on division.
B- the product xy cannot be an integer because bd is a nonzero Integer.
C- the product xy may be elther rational or Irrational because the values of a, b, c, and d are unknown.
D- the product ry is rational because it can be written as the quotient of an Integer and a nonzero Integer.​

Someone answer asap for ! max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a. the median of max’s data is 250 b. more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c. a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d. every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
