The sum of the set of values must be negative.
A negative and a positive number will multiply to a negative number. Other than that, -9 and -8 will satisfy your conditions.
No, average deviation cannot be negative. Deviation is a representation of differences between numbers. A difference is always an absolute value, so the number cannot be negative (even though subtracting the deviation from an average may result in a a negative result).
Since Variance is the average of the squared distanced from the mean, Variance must be a non negative number.
if p represents your positive number, and n represents all of your negative numbers, then: |∑n| < p
Yes, the mean can be negative if the numbers being averaged are negative. For example, if you are averaging temperatures and all of the temperatures are below zero, your average temperature will be a negative number.
There is no single number that satisfies those conditions.
The negative of a negative number is a positive number.
This is not my answer but one posted by a classmate of mine. The positive number must be greater than the absolute value of the sum of the negative numbers
A negative number divided by a negative number is a positive number.
A negative plus a negative still gives a negative answer.
negative number subtracted FROM a negative number will be negative
A positive number. Positive Number x Positive Number = Positive Number Positive Number x Negative Number = Negative Number Negative Number x Negative Number = Positive Number
