Can probability values be negative?

No. Probability values always have to be positive.


Are the probability values always greater than or equal to 0 or less than or equal to 1 or all positive numbers?

Probability values are never negative and are always between 0-1 according to the definition Probability of A= Number of outcomes classified as A/Total number of possible outcomes


What is the opposite of the absolute value of 8?

The additive opposite is negative 8 (-8). Absolute values are always positive numbers.


Probability values are always greater than or equal to 0?

Yes.


Explain Why the product of two nonzero absolute values is always a positive number?

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, so it is always non-negative. When you multiply two nonzero absolute values, you are essentially multiplying two non-negative numbers together. In multiplication, a positive number multiplied by a positive number always results in a positive number, hence the product of two nonzero absolute values is always positive.


How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without actually calculating the sum?

The sum of two positive numbers is always positive, and the sum of two negatives is always negative. If you have a positive and a negative number, there sum can be either, so look at the absolute values to decide. For example -3+2=-1. Since all you care about is the sign, look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative and if the positive number's absolute value, which is the number itself, is bigger, the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is 0.


WHAT IS Probability of occurrence of numbers ending with 9 Among values 1 to 100?

It is 1/10


What are the characteristics of continuous distribution?

The probability distribution function (pdf) is defined over a domain which contains at least one interval in which the pdf is positive for all values. Usually the domain is either the whole of the real numbers or the positive real numbers, but it can be a finite interval: for example, the uniform continuous distribution. Also, trivially, the pdf is always non-negative, the integral of the pdf, over the whole real line, equals 1.


Are electron affinity values usually positive or negative numbers?

Positive for nonmetals and negative for metals


To multiply a negative number and a negative number you should multiply their absolute values and make the product negative true or false?

That is false. A negative times a negative is always a positive. Since absolute numbers are always positive if you make it negative that is not correct.


Can absolute value be negative?

No, absolute values are always positive.


How is absoulute value different from positive and negative integers?

The absolute value is always non-negative. So, the absolute values of zero and positive integers are the same as the numbers. However, the absolute values of negative integers are their additive inverses or additive opposites (or positive equivalents).Thus, for example, abs(-3) = +3
