The distance between two points, a and b, on a number line is expressed as la - bl, where a and b are rational numbers. Think about locating a point halfway
between a and b on a number line. How can you find the coordinate for such a point?
Develop a formula in terms of a and b that you can use to find the coordinate. Your
formula must work for positive and negative values of a and b. Does absolute value
play a role in your formula? Why or why not? Under what circumstances might your
formula be used in the real world? Explain.
Discuss how you can find the coordinate of a point located other fractional distances
from a to b (or from b to a). For example, locate a point three-fourths of the distance
from a to b. What kind of calculation is involved?

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. one study looked at the average number of minutes per day that people spend standing or walking. among mildly obese people, the mean number of minutes of daily activity (standing or walking) is approximately normally distributed with mean 376 minutes and standard deviation 64 minutes. the mean number of minutes of daily activity for lean people is approximately normally distributed with mean 528 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. a researcher records the minutes of activity for an srs of 7 mildly obese people and an srs of 7 lean people. use z-scores rounded to two decimal places to answer the following: what is the probability (image for it appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. one study looked at the averag0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes? what is the probability (image for it appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. one study looked at the averag0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?
