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:

$d=|P-Q|$

Hence, the distnce between P=-50 and Q=12 is equal to

$d=|P-Q|=|-50-12|=|-62|=62$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

What is probability?

Probability is simply the chances of something occuring.

As a formula, I like to say that formula = # of favorable outcomes / total # of outcomes

Where favorable outcomes is what we want to happen and total # of outcomes is the total number of possibilities.

In order to find the probability of the occurrence of something in a row, we multiply the individual probabilities of each action

Understanding the question

Here we are given that caleb has 7 black caps 4 yellow caps and 9 blue caps in his wardrobe and given this we want to find the probability of Caleb randomly selecting 2 blue caps without replacing it the first being drawn.

So here # of favorable outcomes = # of blue caps = 9

and

total number of outcomes = total # of caps = 7 + 4 + 9 = 20

Finding the probability

For first draw

First let's find the probability that caleb will select a blue cap the first time.

We know that probability = # of favorable outcomes / total # of outcomes

We also know that # of favorable outcomes = 9 and total # of outcomes = 20

Plugging this in, we get that the probability of Caleb randomly selecting a blue cap on the first draw is 9/20

For second draw

Because it says that caleb will not replace the cap when drawn it's important to subtract 1 from both the # of caps and # of blue caps

This results us in having # of favorable outcomes as 8 and total # of outcomes as 19

Plugging this in we get that the probability of Caleb drawing a blue cap the second time is 8/19

Finally to find the total probability of him selecting two blue caps in a row without replacing the first cap, we multiply the individual probabilities

From doing so we acquire 9/20 * 8/19 = 18/95

If an experimenter sets equal to .01, then she is defining a "statistically rare" event as an event occurring more than one time

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is an event occurring one or fewer times in 100 times if the null hypothesis is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a statistically rare event, its probability is relatively small and the event is very unlikely to occur. Therefore, if an experimental sets equal to 0.01 which is statistically rare, then we can interpret this mathematically as:

p(event) = 0.01 = 1/100

where p(event) is the probability of the event.

In addition, statistically, null hypothesis signifies no major difference between the specified parameters, and any obvious difference that might occur as a result of experimental error. Thus, it can be concluded that the event is occurring one or fewer times in 100 times if the null hypothesis is true.

What decimal is equivalent to 4/5 + 0.05

UNO [17]

To answer this we will add, but before we add we will change 4/5 in to a decimal. to change ANY fraction into a decimal we have to divide the numerator by the denominator. lets do it:-

4/5
4 ÷ 5 = 0.8

Now lets substitute 0.8 for 4/5 and then add.

4/5 + 0.05
0.8 + 0.05 = 0.85

CHECK OUR WORK:-

0.85 - 0.8 = 0.05
We were RIGHT!!

So, the decimal 0.85 is equivalent to 4/5 + 0.05.

Hope I helped ya!! xD
