Step-by-step explanation:

Something to keep in mind is that anything greater than 0 is positive and anything less than 0 is negative

a is to the right of 0 and 1 making it a positive number

b is to the left of 0 making is a negative number

A. a is greater than 1 and b is a negative number

negative number * positive number = negative number

We already know that a is greater than 1 so ab has to be much less than -1 making ab+1 a negative expression

B. Looking at the number line, you can tell that the distance between 1 and a is a bit less than the distance between 0 and 1

This means that a= 1.x not 2

Because of this, a-2 is negative

C. -b

b is a negative number which means that -b would be positive

D. a+b

Looking at the number line, you can tell that the distance between 0 and a is less than the distance between 0 and b

Therefore, a+b is negative

E. a-b

Since b is already negative, the expression would simplify to two positive numbers being added

This means that a-b can't be negative

F. a-1

The number line shows us that a is greater than 1, therefore, a minus 1 would be positive

I hope this helps in some way or another

Researchers doing a study comparing time spent on social media and time spent on studying randomly sampled 200 students at a maj
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 0.0023

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the probability of getting a sample average of 1.8 or less

Using this formula

z score =(X-mean)/Standard errror

Where,

Standard error =Standard deviation/√(n)

Let plug in the formula

P(Xbar<1.8)=P(Z<(1.8 hours per day -2.2 hours per day)/(2 hours /√(200))

P(Xbar<1.8)=P(Z<-0.4/(2/14.14))

=P(Z<-0.4/0.1414)

=P(Z<-2.83)

Now let find the Z score of P(Z<-2.83) using the z table

P=0.0023

Therefore the probability of getting a sample average of 1.8 or less is:0.0023

Which of the following is the graph of the inequality y&lt; -2x + 3?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

look at the photo

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the inequality is already written in y=mx+b, you can easily graph the line. +3 is the y intercept, so one point would be (0,3). -2 resembles the slope, so diagonally to the left, you would go up 2 and across 1. Also, since the sign is "<" you would graph with a dotted line. Then to know which side to shade, I always use the coordinate (0,0). I plug in 0 for both x and y to see if (0,0) satisfies the inequality. In this case it does, so you would shade on the side where (0,0) is located.

What are the distributive property 14k+35
malfutka [58]
I’m not too sure of what you are asking. But if you want an equivalent expression, it would be

7(2k+5)

Since 7 is the greatest common factor of both 14 and 35. 14/7=2. 35/7=5
