Answer:
the classmate is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
when you do the math for both inequalities they are equal to each other, despite the fact that one has multiplication and the other has addition.
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.
The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.
The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.
For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.
Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.
Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if you can pick any numbers you want then:
rational could be: 0.25 or 1/4
irrational could be: 2/7
Answer:
a. 0.7291
b. 0.9968
c. 0.7259
Step-by-step explanation:
a. np and n(1-p) can be calculated as:
#Both np and np(1-p) are greater than 5, hence, normal approximation is most appropriate:
#Define Y:
Y~(11.04,5.7408)
Hence, the probability of 12 or fewer is 0.8291
b. The probability that 5 or more fish were caught.
#Using normal approximation:
Hence, the probability of catching 5+ is 0.9968
c. The probability of between 5 and 12 is calculated as;
-From b above and a ,=0.7291
Hence, the probability of between 5 and 12 is 0.7259
