"We use different formulas to find the distance of a segment on a number line, d=|a−b|, and the distance of a segment in the coo

rdinate plane, d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√. Why is it necessary to use the absolute value of the difference when finding the distance on a number line, but not necessary when finding the differences of the coordinates in the coordinate plane?"

Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.

The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.

The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

2.275%

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)SD

here, x = 70.5

mean = 65.5

SD = 2.5

Substituting these values;

z = (70.5-65.5)/2.5

= 5/2.5 = 2

So we want to calculate the probability that;

P( z> 2)

We check the standard normal distribution table for this

That will be

0.02275

In percentage, this is 2.275 %
