<em>ANSWER:</em>

<h2>-15</h2>

<em>STEP:</em>

Absolute signs are signs that tell the number away from 0. So the absolute number cannot be negative. |x| = x. You don't know if the number was positive or negative. |-x|. |-x| is x since it tells it's x away from 0. -|x| is -x. Since the negative sign isn't in the absolute signs, you keep it as -15.

Hope this helps :D

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative is outside of the absolute value signs/lines. The absolute value is how far the number is from 0. So, it doesn't matter whether or not there is a negative sign inside of the absolute value lines it will always be positive. But, if it's outside of it, then it will be negative.

Katen [24]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, both would be approximately normal and have the same mean. The difference is in the standard deviation, since as the sample size increases, the standard deviation decreases. So the SRS of 600 would have a smaller standard deviation than the SRS of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the sampling distribution of size n of a sample proportion p, the mean is p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Differences between SRS of 200 and of 600

By the Central Limit Theorem, both would be approximately normal and have the same mean. The difference is in the standard deviation, since as the sample size increases, the standard deviation decreases. So the SRS of 600 would have a smaller standard deviation than the SRS of 200.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement: "ten more than the product of two and a number"

Translation: 10 + (2 * x)

x = 3.5

10 + (2 * 3.5)

= 10 + 7

= 17.

TWO QUESTIONS PLS HELP ASAP
ASHA 777 [7]
Answer: 4. (-1,-1) 3. (3,-2)

4)

Set the equations equal to each other.

4x+3=-x-2

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x=-x-5

Add x to both sides

5x=-5

Divide both sides by 5

x=-1

Next, replace x with -1 in either equation to find y.

-(-1)-2=y

-1=y


3)

Do the same thing for this one and set them equal to each other

-2x+4=-1/3x-1

Add 1 to both sides

-2x+5=-1/3x

Add 2x to both sides

5=5/3x

Divide both sides by 5/3

x=3

Next, replace x with 3 in either equation

-2(3)+4=y

-2=y

12 x 52 = 624

12 x 62 = 744

624 - 744 = -120
