Six individuals, including A and B, take seats around a circular table in a completely random fashion. Suppose the seats are numbered 1, …, 6. Let X= A's seat number and Y= B's seat number. If A sends a written message around the table to B in the direction in which they are closest, how many individuals (including A and B) would you expect to handle the message?

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
