Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between −50 and 12? |−50 − 12| = |−62| = −62 units
2 answers:
Answer:
C. 62 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a number A is the positive distance between 0 and the number A (you can think this distance as the distance measured with a ruler from 0 to the number). For example:
|-2|=2 , |25|=25, |-3|=3, |-25.3|=25.3
Note that the absolte value is always positive.
The distance between two numbers P,Q in the real line is the absolute value of the difference between the two points:
Hence, the distnce between P=-50 and Q=12 is equal to

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use the formula to calculate the probability of (A or B) where
A=Probability a student likes pepperoni
B=Probability a student likes olive
A and B =Probability a student likes both toppings in a pizza
A or B =Probability a student likes pepperoni or olive (and maybe both), a non-exclusive or
The formula is
Since 6 students like pepperoni out of 9:
Since 4 students like olive out of 9:
Since 3 students like both toppings out of 9
Then we have
