Answer:

2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value is the distance an number is from zero. for example, 1 and -1 are both 1 number away from zero, so both of their absolute values are one.

hope this helps :)

Answer:

2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the absolute value of -2 2/3. The absolute value is 2 2/3.

2) Next, convert 2 2/3 to an improper fraction because we want to find the simplest form. The improper fraction is 8/3.

3) Finally, 8/3 cannot be reduced any further, so the answer is 2 2/3.

Hope this helps!

The force of gravity between two objects is given by Fg = −Gm1m2/r2 , where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the

Jet001 [13]

For two objects with a finite constant mass, Fg is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As r gets smaller the gravitational force increases. When the two objects are touching Fg is highest. But the mass of an object is focussed at its centre, the centre of mass. When the objects are touching their centres of mass are still separated. The graph has a vertical asymptote at r=0, implying an infinite gravitational force.

8090 [49]

Answer:

The sum of the probabilities is greater than 100%; and the distribution is too uniform to be a normal distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the probabilities of a distribution should be 100%. When you add the probabilities of this distribution together, you have

22+24+21+26+28 = 46+21+26+28 = 67+26+28 = 93+28 = 121

This is more than 100%, which is a flaw with the results.

A normal distribution is a bell-shaped distribution. Graphing the probabilities for this distribution, we would have a bar up to 22; a bar to 24; a bar to 21; a bar to 26; and bar to 28.

The bars would not create a bell-shaped curve; thus this is not a normal distribution.

REY [17]

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 4 is greater than 3.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
