The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

<h3></h3><h3>How many meters did he descend?</h3>

We know that he stops for water breaks four times, and between each water break, he descends 15 meters.

The written equation is:

4*(-15)m = -60m

Why the negative sign is used?

The negative sign is used because the hiker is descending, so its height is decreasing. The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

Write two sets of 5 different numbers that have the same mean but different standard deviations
Zina [86]

Answer:

The sets could be 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 and 0, 10, 20, -10, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviations are a measure of how far the average point is away from the mean. In the first example, each term is exactly the mean. In the second set, some are quite a distance from the mean and therefore, it would have a bigger standard deviation.

Please Help Me with this permutations and combinations math problem​
Paraphin [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

you do know what a combination stands for ?

n over r = n! / (r! × (n-r)!)

and you know what "!" (factorial) means ?

it means it is the product of

n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × ... × 3 × 2 × 1

so, now we only need to calculate the whole thing.

10 over 4 = 10! / (4! × (10-4)!) = 10! / (4! × 6!) =

= 10×9×8×7 / 4×3×2 = 5×3×2×7 = 210

10 over 6 = 10! (6! × (10-6)!) = 10! / (6! × 4!) =

= the same as 10 over 4 = 210

8 over 7 = 8! / (7! × (8-7)!) = 8! / (7! × 1!) = 8

6 over 2 = 6! / (2! × (6-2)!) = 6! /(2! × 4!) =

= 6×5 / 2 = 15

6 over 4 = the same as 6 over 2 = 15

9 over 6 = 9! / (6! × (9-6)!) = 9! / (6! × 3!) =

= 9×8×7 / 3×2 = 3×4×7 = 84

so, we have then

210×210 - 8×15 + 15×84 = 44100 - 120 + 1260 =

= 45240
