< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
Answer:
0.3 or 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since no innocent student will ever be caught, the probability that a student sends an email and/or text message during a lecture AND gets caught is given by the product of the probability of a student sending a message (60%) by the probability of the professor catching them (50%) :

The probability is 0.3 or 30%.
Answer:
A. 18.2
Step-by-step explanation:
b^2 + 14^2 = 23^2
b = sqrt(333) = 18.248
Y ≤ x - 5
y ≥-x - 4
x - 5 = -x - 4
+ x + x
2x - 5 = -4
+ 5 + 5
2x = 1
2 2
x = ¹/₂
y = x - 5
y = ¹/₂ - 5
y = -4¹/₂
The following points that lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities is (¹/₂, -4¹/₂).
