<u>Part A
</u>
<u />To estimate this, we should first look at our fractions and see if they can be combined to form a whole number. In this case, \frac{3}{5} and \frac{2}{3} equal approximately 1. We can add this "1" to the other to full gallons to estimate that the painter needs about 3 gallons.

<u>Part B
</u>
<u /><u />To find the exact amount, we should first change the mixed numbers to improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, adding the numerator, and placing that value over the denominator.

1 \frac{3}{5} \\ \\  (5*1)+3 =8 \\  \\  \frac{8}{5}  \\  \\  \\ \\  1 \frac{2}{3} \\  \\ (3*1)+2=5 \\  \\  \frac{5}{3}  &#10;

Now, we need to find the least common denominator. This is the lowest value that both denominators will divide evenly into. In this case, that number is 15.

Next, we should multiply both fractions so that the denominator is that number. Remember that we must also multiply the numerator for the fraction to remain equivalent to its original value.

\frac{8}{5} *3 =   \frac{24}{15} \\  \\  \frac{5}{3} *5 =  \frac{25}{15}

Now, we can simply add our numerators.

25+24=49

We know that he needs \frac{49}{15} gallons of paint, but this is not in the most simplified format. To simplify, we need to turn our improper fraction back to a mixed number. To do this, we need to divide our numerator by the denominator to create our whole number, and the remainder becomes our new numerator.

\frac{49}{15} \\  \\ 49 / 15 = 3(Remainder: 4) \\  \\  3\frac{4}{15}

Using that logic, we can see that the painter needs exactly 3 \frac{4}{15} gallons of paint.

Determine e, k, and identify the type of conic for r= 12/ 7- cos theta
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The answer is (d) ⇒ e = 1/7 , k = 12 , conic ellipse

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ r = ek/(1 ± ecosФ)

∵ r = 12/(7 - cosФ) ⇒ ÷ 7 up and down

∴ r = 12/7 ÷ 1 - 1/7 (cosФ)

∴ e = 1/7

∵ 12/7 = ke ⇒ 12/7 = k(1/7)

∴ k = 12

∵ 0 < e < 1

∴ The conic is ellipse

What would answer be t -3x + 6 + 12 y
Evgesh-ka [11]

-3x + 6 + 12 y. I am afraid that there are no like terms to combine, and it is neither an equation nor an inequality.

Hope this Helps!

In Pennsylvania the average IQ score is 101.5. The variable is normally distributed, and the population standard deviation is 15
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

We conclude that the Pennsylvania school district have an IQ higher than the average of 101.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 101.5

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 106.4

Sample size, n = 30

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 15

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 101.5\\H_A: \mu > 101.5

We use one-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{106.4 - 101.5}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{30}} } = 1.789

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = 1.96

Since,  

z_{stat} > z_{critical}

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis.

Thus, we conclude that the Pennsylvania school district have an IQ higher than the average of 101.5
