Using multiplication signal rules, it is found that:

A: Emma's statement is always false.

B: The result is always negative.

C: Emma's statement is always true.

The rule used for this exercise is as follows:

  • When two numbers of different signals are multiplied, the result is negative.
  • When two numbers have the same signal, the result is positive.

Part A:

  • Three numbers are multiplied, all negative.
  • The multiplication of the first two result in a positive number.
  • Then, this positive number is multiplied by a negative number, and the result will be negative, which mean that Emma's statement is always false.

Two examples are:

-2.5(-3.8)(-2) = 9.5(-2) = -19

-2.5(-2)(-0.7) = 5(-0.7) = -3.5

Part B:

The rule is that the result is always negative.

Part C:

  • The multiplication of the first two negative numbers result in a positive number.
  • Then, this positive number is multiplied by another positive number, and the result will be positive, which mean that Emma's statement is always true.

Two examples are:

-2.5(-3.8)(2) = 9.5(2) = 19

-2.5(-2)(0.7) = 5(0.7) = 3.5

The Director of Admissions at Kinzua University in Nova Scotia estimated the distribution of student admissions for the fall sem
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Variance = 24900

Standard Deviation = 157.7973        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of admissions:    1000     1200    1500

Admissions Probability:     0.6        0.3       0.1

Formula:

E(x) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\E(x) = 1000(0.6) + 1200(0.3) + 1500(0.1)\\E(x) = 1110\\E(x^2) =  \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\E(x^2) = (1000)^2(0.6) + (1200)^2(0.3) + (1500)^2(0.1)\\E(x^2) = 1257000

Variance =

\sigma^2 = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2\\\sigma^2 = 1257000 -(1110)^2\\\sigma^2 =24900

Thus, the variance is 24900.

Standard Deviation =

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} = \sqrt{24900} = 157.7973

Thus, the standard deviation is 157.7973

There are some discs in a bag. 40% are red and 2/5 are yellow the rest is blue what fraction is blue?
AysviL [449]
All of the disks = 100%.

40% are red.

2/5 = 40/100 = 40% are yellow.

40% + 40% = 80%

100% - 80% = 20%

20% of the disks are blue.

20% can also be written as 20/100, which simplifies to 1/5.

1/5 of the disks are blue.
