Absolute Value. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. For example, -7 is 7 units away from zero, so its absolute value would be 7.

Absolute value means "distance from zero" on a number line. To represent the absolute value of a number, we use a vertical bar on either side of the number. Let's try an easy problem to fully understand what absolute value means.

Let's say we are asked to find the absolute value of 4 and -4. The absolute value of 4 would be 4 because it's 4 units away from zero. The absolute value of -4 will be 4 also because it's 4 units away from zero.

Remember that if you're asked to find the absolute value of a negative number, the absolute value will always be the positive version of that number.

According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M’s, 12% of peanut M&M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are re

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking at a geometric distribution.

The probability of selecting a brown peanut is .12 = p

The probability of not selecting a brown peanut is .88 = q

The probability mass function is p(y) = (.88)^(y-1) * (.12)

a) p(7) = (.88)^6 * .12 = .0557

b) p(7 <= y <= 8) = p(7) + p(8)

= .0557 + (.88)^7 * .12 = .1048

c) p(y <= 7) = p(0) + p(1) + ... + p(7)

= .12 + (.88)^1 * .12 + (.88)^2 * .12 + ... + (.88)^6 * .12 = .4713

d) The expect value is 1/p. So, 1/(.12) = 8.33 M&M's

Need help with these 3

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

1.) x = 110

$\frac{3}{22} =\frac{15}{x}$

So for 3 to become 15 it would have to be multiplied by 5 because 3 x 5 = 15. And if I multiply the numerator by anything I always have to do the same to the denominator. So I multiply 22 x 5 = x. x = 110

$\frac{3 * 5}{22*5} =\frac{15}{110}$

2.) x = 72

$\frac{x}{16} =\frac{9}{2}$

For 16 to become 2 it has to be divided by 8 because 16 ÷ 8 = 2. And I have to do the same to the numerator of course, so i have to find x ÷ 8 = 9. I know the answer by memory, but for some it's easier to rewrite this as 9 × 8 = x. x=72

$\frac{72}{16} =\frac{9}{2}$

3.) c = 24

$\frac{3}{5} =\frac{c}{40}$

For 5 to become 40 it must be multiplied by 8 because 5 × 8 = 40. I have to multiply 8 by the numerator as well and 3 × 8 = 24. c = 24

$\frac{3*8}{5*8} =\frac{24}{40}$

What is the y-intercept for the equation y = 11x + 1?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$(0, 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Determine the y-intercept</u>

Using the slope intercept form, we know that the equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore, looking at our equation, we can tell that b is 1 therefore the y-intercept is (0, 1)

Answer: $(0, 1)$
