Explain why a positive times a negative is a negative number.

Mathematics
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:

Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)

<u>2×(-3)</u>

Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.

A image is shown below to represent the same.

<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>

Which data set could be represented by the box plot shown below?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Any set of data that satisfies the 5-Number summary: 1,6,12,16 and 19 can be represented with the box plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Interpreting Box Plots</u>

A box plot is used to present the 5-Number summary of a set of data.

The 5-Number summary consists of the following in their order of appearance on the box plot.

  • Minimum Value
  • First Quartile, Q_1
  • Median, Q_2
  • Third Quartile, Q_3
  • Maximum Value

In the box plot, the following rules applies

  • The whisker starts from the minimum value and ends at the first quartile.
  • The box starts at the first quartile and ends at the third quartile. There is a vertical line inside the box which shows the median.
  • The end whisker starts at the third quartile and ends at the maximum value.

Using these, we interpret the given box plot

A left whisker extends from 1 to 6.

  • Minimum Value=1
  • First Quartile =6

The box extends from 6 to 16 and is divided into 2 parts by a vertical line segment at 12.

  • Median=12
  • Thrid Quartile=16

The right whisker extends from 16 to 19.

  • Maximum Value =19

Therefore any set of data that satisfies the 5-Number summary: 1,6,12,16 and 19 can be represented with the box plot.
