7 0

Answer:

Positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you see two negative signs directly next to each other (as shown in the given expression), it will become a positive sign:

7 - (-4) = 7 + 4 = 11

Positive is your answer.

* To be fair, even if there is only one negative sign, the answer will still be positive, however, I am assuming you are suggesting only the sign, and not the answer.

What is the geometric mean of 3 and 15

Helen [10]

Trick question. There is not one. Due to the fact that 3 is a factor of 15 and if you factor it you will get five which is a third of 15.

Write the slope-intercept form of the given line. Include your work in your final answer.

Degger [83]

Answer:

y=1x+-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope which is 1/1 because it is rise over run (rising 1, running 1)

b=y-intercept form which is -1 because that is where the line meets the y axis

On one day a pet store sells 2 birds 6 gerbils 3 fish and 3 hamsters whats the data and relative frequency as a percent?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Birds $F_b=14.3\%$

Gerbils $F_g=42.9\%$

Fish $F_f=21.4\%$

Hamsters $F_h=21.4\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sales

Number of birds $n_b=2$

Number of gerbils $n_g=6$

Number of fish $n_f=3$

Number of hamsters $n_h=3$

Generally the frequency for birds $F_b$ is mathematically given b

$F_b=\frac{n_b}{n}*100$

$F_b=\frac{2}{14}*100$

$F_b=14.3\%$

Generally the frequency for Gerbils $F_g$ is mathematically given b

$F_g=\frac{n_g}{n}*100$

$F_g=\frac{6}{14}*100$

$F_g=42.9\%$

Generally the frequency for fish $F_f$ is mathematically given b

$F_f=\frac{n_f}{n}*100$

$F_f=\frac{3}{14}*100$

$F_f=21.4\%$

Generally the frequency for fish $F_h$ is mathematically given b

$F_h=\frac{n_h}{n}*100$

$F_h=\frac{3}{14}*100$

$F_h=21.4\%$

) An instructor gives his class a set of 18 problems with the information that the next quiz will consist of a random selection

RSB [31]

Answer:

The probability the he or she will answer correctly is 1.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In all, there are 18 problems. In this question, the order of which the problems are sorted for the quiz makes no difference. For example, if the question A of the quiz is P1 and question B P2, and question A P2 and question B P1, it is the same thing.

There are 18 problems and 9 are going to be selected. So, there is going to be a combination of 9 elements from a set of 18 elements.

A combination of n elements from a set of m objects has the following formula:

$C_{(m,n)} = \frac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}$

In this question, m = 18, n = 9. So the total number of possibilities is:

$T_{p} = C_{(18,9)} = \frac{18!}{9!(18-9)!} = 48620$

Now we have to calculate the number of desired outcomes. This number is a combination of 9 elements from a set of 13 elements(13 is the number of problems that the student has figured out how to do).

Now, m = 13, n = 9. The number of desired possibilities is:

$D_{p} = C_{(13,9)} = \frac{13!}{9!(13-9)!} = 715$

The probability is the number of desired possibilities divided by the number of total possibilities. So

$P = \frac{715}{48620} = 0.015 = 1.5%$

The probability the he or she will answer correctly is 1.5%
