What's |5| + |–7|?

2 answers:

7 0

The absolute value returns the "positive version" of a number. This means that if the number is already positive, it does nothing. Otherwise, it gets rid of the negative sign.

So, you have

$|5|=5,\quad |-7|=7$

and thus

$|5|+|-7|=5+7=12$

Answer:

C) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value always means it is the positive version of the number

This switches -7 to 7 and 5 stays the same.

5 + 7 = 12

Answer:

260 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gareth's stickers be x.

Hence Cheryl sticker is 160+x;

If Cheryl gave 185 stickers

to Gareth, it means:

Cheryl has at the moment;

160 + x - 185 = x - 25

At this time when Gareth receives 185 he now has:

x+ 185

Also when he receives x +185, he has 3 times Cherry's meaning:

x+185 =3(x-25)

x + 185 = 3x -75

185 + 75 = 3x-2x

260= x

x = 260.

Hence Gareth has 260 stickers

The defect length of a corrosion defect in a pressurized steel pipe is normally distributed with mean value 30 mm and standard d

Answer:

$z=-0.842$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=30 -0.842*7.8=23.432$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 23.432.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(30,7.8)$

Where $\mu=30$ and $\sigma=7.8$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.80$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.20 of the area on the left and 0.80 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$
