3 2/7 minus (1 6/7 +2/5) =

Mathematics

poizon [28]3 years ago

First, let's make all the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator; this new number becomes the numerator while we keep the same denominator, thus:

3 2/7 = 3 * 7 + 2 / 7 = 21 + 2 / 7 = 23/7
1 6/7 = 1 * 7 + 6 / 7 = 7 + 6 / 7 = 13/7

Our new problem is

23/7 - (13/7 + 2/5)

The next step to be able to simplify this is to have common denominators. To do that here, we will multiply the first two fractions by 5/5 and the third fraction by 7/7, thereby making all three fractions have a denominator of 35:

5/5(23/7) - [5/5(13/7) + 7/7(2/5)]
115/35 - (65/35 + 14/35)

Finally, we can add the fractions in the parenthesis, and then subtract that number from 115/35:

115/35 - 79/35
36/35

Answer:
36/35

Amy scores an 82% on her math test with Ms. Smith. The average score for her class is a 75% with a standard deviation of 2%. Amy
cluponka [151]

Assuming scores are normally distributed, a score of 82% on Ms. Smith's test corresponds to the p-th percentile, i.e.

P(X_S\le82)=p

where X_S is a random variable denoting scores on Ms. Smith's test.

Transform X_S to Z, which follows the standard normal distribution:

P(X_S\le82)=P\left(\dfrac{X_S-75}2\le\dfrac{82-75}2\right)=P(Z\le3.5)\approx0.9998

which means Amy scored at the 99.98th percentile.

This makes it so that Karina needs to score X_A=x on Mr. Adams' test so that

P(X_A\le x)=0.9998

Their test scores have the same z score computed above, so

\dfrac{x-73}3=3.5\implies x=83.5

so Karina needs to get a test score of at least 83.5%.
