Answer:

\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Number Line</u>

Let's call

\displaystyle A=-4\frac{1}{2}

\displaystyle B=+3\frac{1}{4}

Both numbers are given as mixed fractions. Let's convert them to improper fractions:

\displaystyle A=-4\frac{1}{2}=-(4+\frac{1}{2})=-\frac{8+1}{2}=-\frac{9}{2}

\displaystyle B=3\frac{1}{4}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{12+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}

The decimal values are A = -9/2=-4.5, B=13/4 = 3.25

Now represent the points in the number line. See the image below

Finally, calculate their sum:

\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{9}{2}+\frac{13}{4}

\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{18}{4}+\frac{13}{4}=\frac{-18+13}{4}

\boxed{\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{5}{4}}

In a recent baseball season, Ron was hit by pitches 21 times in 602 plate appearances during the regular season. Assume that the
ozzi

Answer:

the probability that Ron will get hit by a pitch exactly once is 36.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X= number of times Ron is hits by pitches in 23 plate appearances  follows ,a binomial distribution. Where

P(X=x) = n!/(x!*(n-x)!)*p^x*(1-p)^x

where

n= plate appearances =23

p= probability of being hit by pitches = 21/602

x= number of successes=1

then replacing values

P(X=1) = 0.3671 (36.71%)
