In your company's logistics software, a safety rule requires that the reserve stock level ($x$) for a critical component must always remain strictly greater than 2 units, which is written as $x > 2$. When recalling how to graph this inequality on a number line to visualize valid stock levels, which description correctly identifies the endpoint marker at the number 2 and the direction of the shaded region?

Visualizing Budget Surpluses on a Number Line

A quality control technician is using a monitoring tool where a safety alert is triggered if the temperature deviation $D$ is strictly greater than 2 degrees ($D > 2$). To visualize this on a number line for a report, match each part of the inequality with the correct graphical instruction.

A technician is graphing the safety requirement $x > 2$ on a horizontal measurement scale. True or False: To correctly show that the value 2 is not included in the solution set, the technician should use an open parenthesis (or open circle) at the number 2.

A safety technician needs to graph the operational threshold $x > 2$ on a number line to provide a visual reference for a team report. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to produce an accurate graphical representation of this inequality.

A supervisor at a beverage distribution center is setting up an automated quality control check. An alert is programmed to flag any shipment where the processing delay $h$ is strictly greater than 2 hours, represented by the inequality $h > 2$. To visualize this safety threshold on a horizontal number line gauge for the operators, the gauge must be shaded to the ____ of the number 2 to show all values that will trigger the alert.
