ANSER: Yes

EXPLANATION: The is one way for you to make a negative number greater than a positive number and that is by using absolute value. Absolute value is when you take the number and define the absolute value. So -4 would be just 4. In a regular equation -5 < 4 but using absolute value -5 becomes 5. Therefore there is one way for a negative number to be posotive.

ANSWER: No.

Explanation: It is impossible for a negative number to be greater than a positive number. All negatives are behind zero, therefore less than zero, on the number line, while all the positives are ahead of zero, meaning they're greater than zero. In conclusion, a negative number is ALWAYS less than a positive number.

It would just be 2x68, in the sense that the original equation for Hooke's Law is F=kX. In your equation, w is k and X is D. the answer is 136cm for 2kg and 340cm  for 5kg. Tell me if this is wrong please.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(90-65)(/(200-100)=25/100=1/4

y=x/4+b, using point (100,65)

65=100/4+b

65=25+b

b=40

y=x/4+40 or more neatly

y=(x+160)/4

Following these steps you should have no problem with second problem.

A professor would like to test the hypothesis that the average number of minutes that a student needs to complete a statistics e
professor190 [17]

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=15 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.05 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =16 represent the sample variance

\sigma^2_0 =25 represent the value that we want to  verify

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true deviation for this case is lesss than 5minutes, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 25

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

The statistic is given by:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And replacing we got:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

Can someone please help me solve this
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

1. 1.25

2. 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2 : 2.5 = 1.25 Ratio from P To Q - 1 : 1.25

2. 2.5 : 2 = 0.8 Ratio from Q to P - 1 : 0.8

1. All you have to do is find the corresponding sides(meaning similar) and the compare them from one to another.

Example:

I know 5 and 4 are corresponding sides because they are similar. The ratio is Q to P we can find by writing them down. It can be written like this.

5:4 is so when we multiply this ratio from any side of Q we will get the correpoding side from P.

5:4 ratio = 1 : 0.8 - So the ratio is 0.8

There this is another ratio that we can compare to.

Now let’s say we need to find when the one of the P side is 4 and what would be the corresponding side.

4 x 1.25(ratio from P to Q) = 5

We can also find when the P side is 3 what would be Q’s corresponding side. Which is the ratio from P to Q or 1.25.

So just multiply 3 by 1.25.

3 x 1.25 = 3.75

3.75 x 0.8 = 3
