C. The distance between A and C
Because |-2| = 2
And if you tried all the choices only C gives the same answer

Hello!

I believe the best way to describe |-2| is 'the distance between A and C'.

When a number is in between two lines like this ( |-2| ), it means to find the absolute value of that number. Most people think the absolute value means it's the opposite of the number, but the absolute value is really the distance from 0. So the absolute value of 7 would be 7, because 7 is the distance the number is from 0. So |-2| would be described as the distance form Point A to Point C because its distance is two numbers away from 0.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

y = 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

x : y = 5 : ?

Given that x = 5

So,

<u><em>Condition:</em></u>

y = 20% + x

y = $\frac{1}{5} + 5$

y = $\frac{26}{5}$

y = 5.2

An object is propelled upward from the top of a 300 foot building. The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can

serg [7]

Answer:

As per the statement:

The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can be modeled by:

h =-16t^2 + 80t + 300

where

h is the height of the objects and

t is the time (in seconds)

At t = 0 , h = 300 ft

When the objects hit the ground, h = 0

then;

-16t^2+80t+300=0

For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0 ......[1]

the solution for the equation is given by:

$x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;

a = -16 ,b = 80 and c = 300

then;

$t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{(80)^2-4(-16)(300)}}{2(-16)}$

$t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{6400+19200}}{-32}$

$t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{25600}}{-32}$

Simplify:

$t = -\frac{5}{2}$ = -2.5 sec and $t = \frac{15}{2}$ = 7.5 sec

Time can't be in negative;

therefore, the time it took the object to hit the ground is 7.5 sec

"A passenger train traveled 100 miles in the same amount of time it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. The rate of the fre

Pavel [41]

Answer: the rate of the passenger train is 100 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate of the passenger train.

The rate of the freight train was 10 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. It means that the rate of the freight train is (x - 10) mph

The passenger train traveled 100 miles. It means that the time it took travel 100 miles is

100/x

In the same amount of time, it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. It means that the time it took travel 90 miles is

90/(x - 10)

Since the time is the same, then

100/x = 90/(x - 10)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

100(x - 10) = 90x

100x - 1000 = 90x

100x - 90x = 1000

10x = 1000

x = 100 mph

A study is conducted to determine if a newly designed text book is more helpful to learning the material than the old edition. T

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 75, the system of hypothesis are :

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 75$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 75$

A. One-Tailed

$z=\frac{82.2-75}{\frac{10.4}{\sqrt{10}}}=2.189$

$p_v =P(z>2.189)=0.0143$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

We have the following data: 84 94 80 88 77 68 90 74 96 71

We can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X=82.2$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma=10.4$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =75$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 75, the system of hypothesis are :

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 75$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 75$

A. One-Tailed

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{82.2-75}{\frac{10.4}{\sqrt{10}}}=2.189$

P-value

Since is a ONE-TAILED test the p value would given by:

$p_v =P(z>2.189)=0.0143$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.
