Hey there,

Question stating: <span>The absolute value of a number is always non-negative

This statement above would be a </span>true statement.

The reason why it would be true would be because when you see a number as -2. The absolute value of this would be 2. The reason is because the are 2 digits always from the number 0. Thus, this would include that the <span>absolute value of a number is always non-negative.
</span><span>
Hope this helps.

I want to make sure you understand that absolute value is the distance from zero. It isn't a value; it is a distance.

For example,

6 and -6 both are 6 units from zero. They are opposites on the number line.

8 and -8 are both 8 units from zero. They are opposites on the number line.

But, if you have a negative sign outside the absolute value signs, like so:

-|6| The distance would be 6. But then, since it's outside the signs, it would be -6.

So, yes, wit the signs by itself the absolute value (or distance from zero) is always non-negative.

I hope this helps!

A company has a policy of retiring company cars; this policy looks at number of miles driven, purpose of trips, style of car and
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

ans=13.59%

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 rule states that, when X is an observation from a random bell-shaped (normally distributed) value with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, we have these following probabilities

Pr(\mu - \sigma \leq X \leq \mu + \sigma) = 0.6827

Pr(\mu - 2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + 2\sigma) = 0.9545

Pr(\mu - 3\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + 3\sigma) = 0.9973

In our problem, we have that:

The distribution of the number of months in service for the fleet of cars is bell-shaped and has a mean of 53 months and a standard deviation of 11 months

So \mu = 53, \sigma = 11

So:

Pr(53-11 \leq X \leq 53+11) = 0.6827

Pr(53 - 22 \leq X \leq 53 + 22) = 0.9545

Pr(53 - 33 \leq X \leq 53 + 33) = 0.9973

-----------

Pr(42 \leq X \leq 64) = 0.6827

Pr(31 \leq X \leq 75) = 0.9545

Pr(20 \leq X \leq 86) = 0.9973

-----

What is the approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 64 and 75 months?

Between 64 and 75 minutes is between one and two standard deviations above the mean.

We have Pr(31 \leq X \leq 75) = 0.9545 = 0.9545 subtracted by Pr(42 \leq X \leq 64) = 0.6827 is the percentage of cars that remain in service between one and two standard deviation, both above and below the mean.

To find just the percentage above the mean, we divide this value by 2

So:

P = {0.9545 - 0.6827}{2} = 0.1359

The approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 64 and 75 months is 13.59%.

PLS HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND
Norma-Jean [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

the average change rate is simply the change of the functional values in a given interval relative to the change of the input values.

in short

(f ( interval upper limit) - f (interval lower limit) ) /

(interval upper limit) - (interval lower limit)

and you know that f (x) is usually also called y (the functional result variable).

so, the upper limit is 0, the lower limit is -2.

y (or f (x)) is 6 and 10 at these points.

and we get

(6 - 10) / (0 - -2) = -4 / 2 = -2

A rectangle has a height of 3 and a width of 2x2 + 3x - 5.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6x2 + 9x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is multiply 3(2x2 + 3x - 5)

When you distribute, you will multiply 3 by 2x2, which is 6x2. 3 by 3x, which is 9x. And 3 by -5, which is -15. Then you can just write them all in order because none of them are like terms that you can combine.
