A student said that since -9 is less than 4, then |-9| is less than |4|. Is the student correct? Explain why or why not.

No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are not correct because the "| |" signs mean absolute value. What ever is inside the signs must be positive. So -9 becomes 9 and 9 is greater than 4. So, the student is not correct.

The mean length of 5 childrens' index finger is 5.6cm.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

<h3>What is the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger?</h3>

The given parameters are:

<u>Children</u>

Mean = 5.6 cm

Frequency = 5

<u>Adult</u>

Mean = 6.2 cm

Frequency = 3

The mean length of these 8 people's index finger is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

So, we have

Mean = (5.6 * 5 + 6.2 * 3)/(5 + 3)

Evaluate

Mean = 5.83

Hence, the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83
