Problem 1

Answer: Closer to 1

Explanation:

There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.

================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 4

Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely

Explanation:

We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%

Explain the difference between |-3| and -3?

Ivan

They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.

What are the domain and range of this function?

RUDIKE [14]

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

Domain: all real numbers
Range: $y \ge 1$

===========================================

Explanation:

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs. We can plug in any x value we want as the graph stretches on forever to the left and to the right. There aren't any division by zero errors or any issues like that to worry about, so that's why we don't kick out any x values from the domain.

The domain being all real numbers translates to the interval notation $(-\infty, \infty)$ which is basically saying $-\infty < x < \infty$
