Can any negative integer be greater than a positive integer explain

Mathematics

Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
5 0

No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

y < 0 < x

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

y < x

What is the probability that a family of 4 children will have all girls?
Alex73 [517]
Since as of now we're saying that the probability of having a girl is 1/2, we can say:
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2, because then you're saying a one half chance of having a girl times another one half chance of having a girl, etc.
 That ends up to be 1/16.
