Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite numbers are the same distance from 0 on the number line, but in opposite directions. Steps I would follow:

  • first, check the directions to make sure they are opposite,
  • then read the digits, or count the tick marks or compare lengths with dividers or ruler or marks on a piece of paper to see if the distances are the same.

  3 is not the opposite of -6

  6 is the opposite of -6

Answer: Sample Response: Although 6 and 3 are on opposite sides of sea level, or 0, they are not opposites because they are unequal distances from 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is 3 units above 0 on a vertical number line.

–6 is 6 units below 0 on a vertical number line.

3 is not the opposite of –6.

Opposites are equal distances from 0.

There are four activities on the critical path, and they have standard deviations of 1, 2, 4, and 2. what is the probability tha
Anit [1.1K]

Standard deviations of the four activities of the critical path are 1,2,4,2.

Standard deviation of this critical path = Sum of square root of variance of this corresponding critical path

Standard deviation of critical path =\sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2+2^2}

=\sqrt{1+4+16+4}

=\sqrt{25}

=5

Now we need to find the probability that the project will completed in 38 weeks given that its expected completion time is 40 weeks.

That is, we need to find P(X<38) :

z=\frac{38-40}{5}= \frac{-2}{5}=-0.4

P(X

Probability =0.5-0.16=0.34

Thus the probability that the project will be completed in 38 weeks is 0.34.

After extensive measurements of the time necessary to complete the first homework assignment, a teacher determines that there is
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: -1.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : \mu=100

Standard deviation : \sigma=20

Sample size : n=60

Sample mean : \overline{x}=96

The test statistic for the population mean is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{96-100}{\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{60}}}=-1.54919333848\approx-1.55

Hence, the value of z statistic = -1.55

It takes 36 minutes to manually package 400 candles into boxes for shipment. When an automated packaging system works together w
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Candles can be manually packed at the rate of ...

... (400 candles)/(36 minutes) = 11 1/9 candles/minute

The two systems together pack candles at the rate of ...

... (400 candles)/(9 minutes) = 44 4/9 candles/minute

Then the machine's packing rate is the difference between the total and the manual rates:

... machine rate = (44 4/9 candles/minute) - (11 1/9 candles/minute)

... = 33 1/3 candles/minute.

At this rate, the machine working alone can pack 400 candles in ...

... (400 candles)/(33 1/3 candles/minute) = (400/(100/3)) minutes

... = 400 × 3/100 minutes = 12 minutes

The vertices of polygon ABCD are at A(1, 1), B(2, 3), C(3, 2), and D(2, 1). ABCD is reflected across the x-axis and translated 2
Lana71 [14]

-- Reflecting across the x-axis makes all the x-coordinates the negative of
what they were before the reflection.  The y-coordinates don't change.

-- Translating 2 units up makes all the y-coordinates 2 greater than
they were before the translation.  The x-coordinates don't change.

You didn't give us a list of new coordinates, so there's nothing
to match with.

Ying Zyiyu covered the first 300 miles of a trip going at 60 mph and the last hundred going at 40 mph. What was his average spee
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Average speed is (total distance)/(total time).

To find the total time we need to do some division.

Time for 200 miles=200/50=4 hours.

Time for 100=100/40=5/2 hours.

Total time=13/2 hours. Total distance=200+100=300 miles.

Av speed=300/(13/2)=300×2/13=600/13=46.15 mph approx.
