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
and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The table below shows the possible outcomes from drawing two balls. We see the relative frequencies to be ...
6: 4
8: 2
9: 2
11: 4
To make a fair decision, we want the relative frequencies of the decision possibilities to be the same. If we combine sums 8 and 9 to one category (medium cone, for example), then 6, (8 or 9), and 11 will all have the same relative frequency: 4.
The appropriate "fair decision" choice is ...
6: small cone
8 or 9: medium cone
11: large cone
