Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

(A. 1.5 > 2 1/2

(B. 1/2 > 0.5

(C. -2.5 > -1.5

(D. -3 1/2 > - 4.5

Step 1: Convert everything to decimals or fractions so its easier to see and make it less likely to get the question wrong

Method #1: Fractions

1.5= 1 1/2

0.5= 1/2

-2.5= - 2 1/2

-1.5= - 1 1/2

-4.5= -4 1/2

Now we have:

(A. 1 1/2 > 2 1/2 --> This is wrong because 1 1/2 is supposed to be less than 2 1/2.

(B. 1/2 > 1/2 This is also wrong. 1/2 is equal to 1/2; they are obviously the same.

(C. -2 1/2 > -1 1/2 This is wrong because, in negative numbers, its sort of backwards. For example, -2 is actually less than -1 because its farther away from 0. But if they were normal positive numbers, 2 would be bigger. But here, -2 1/2 is less than -1 1/2.

(D. -3 1/2 > - 4 1/2 This is correct. -3 1/2 is closer to 0 than -4 1/2, so it has to be bigger.

Solving the problem this way gets me to: Answer= D

Method #2: Decimals (remember: same numbers, different way of writing them!!!)

(A. 1.5 > 2.5 False. 1.5 is less than 2.5

(B. 0.5 > 0.5 False. 0.5 is equal to 0.5

(C. -2.5 > -1.5 False. -2.5 is farther away from 0 so its actually smaller.

(D. -3.5 > - 4.5 True. -3.5 is closer to 0.

Doing it this way also leads me to Answer= D.

Hope this helps :)) Also can i please have brainiest? I worked pretty hard on this :D

-3 1/2 > -4.5

-3.5 > -4.5
since negatives get smaller the “bigger” that the negative number gets, -3 1/2 is greater than -4.5 ! hope this helps:)

If the p-value = 0.008, what conclusion can be drawn?
Paladinen [302]

Answer: option A is correct, we accept the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a 5% level of significance, p = 0.05, therefore when p < 0.05, accept the null hypothesis (H°) and reject the alternative hypothesis (H¡). When p > 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis (H°) and accept the alternative hypothesis (H¡)

Given the p-value to be 0.008, this is less than the 5% threshold, that is, 0.05, hence we accept the null hypothesis.
