No, because if you add a negative to another negative, you will only get more negative. The same goes for positive. If you add a positive to a positive, you only get more positive.


You could also think of it as:
You add one rotten apple (a negative number) to a pile of rotten apples (more negative numbers). Just because you added a rotten apple to the pile, does that make it a good apple?

The same goes for good apples. If you add a good apple to a pile of more good apples, that doesn't create a rotten apple.


Hope this helped! Good luck :)

No because if you add two negatives it would be a positive, but if you add two positives. It would still be a positive.

I WILL GIVE AN EXTRA 50 POINTS TO WHOEVER GETS THESE 2 QUESTIONS RIGHT
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem 1:</u>

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards, consisting of 13 spades. If you select only one randomly, the probability of that occurring would be 13/52 or 1/4. Since there are only 26 red cards in a standard deck, then the probability of selecting a red card would be 26/52 or 1/2. Because the two events are independent of each other, their probabilities are multiplied. Therefore, the probability of selecting a spade, and then replacing it in hopes of drawing a red card is (1/2)(1/4) = 1/8.

<u>Problem 2:</u>

We are selecting a spade and then another spade while NOT replacing the first spade (remember that these events are independent of each other also). This means that the total card count will change by picking up the second card. Therefore, the probability of selecting a spade, followed by another spade, is (13/52)(12/51) = 156/2652 = 1/17.
