Of course it can. It always is if 'x' is less than 2.

Yes, it can.

See inequality:

x-2 < 0
x < 2

So, any value of x smaller than 2 become x- 2 a negative result.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the level of ground level be g

On first day, amount of snow melted by 3 inches

So, level of ground melted= (g- 3) inches

Next day, amount of snow melted by 8 inches

So, level of ground level melted = (g- 3-8 )inches

Hence, total change in the ground level = ( g- 11) inches

Hence, amount of snow on ground level melted by 11 inches

Hence, the correct answer is 11 inches

Complete Question

In a genetic experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 171 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected? The probability of getting a green pea is approximately: Is the probability reasonably close to 3/4?

Answer:

The probability is $P(g) =0.72$

Yes the result is reasonably close

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of of green peas is $g = 436$

The number of yellow peas is $y = 171$

The sample size is $n = 171 + 436 = 607$

The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is mathematically represented as

$P(g) = \frac{g}{n}$

$P(g) = \frac{436}{607}$

$P(g) =0.72$

Comparing $P(g) =0.72$ to $\frac{3}{4} = 0.75$ we see that the result is reasonably close

Recall that tanA = sinA / cosA.

Therefore, tanA = (3/5) / (4/5) = 3/4.
