Answer:
Given,
2 cups of yellow paint is needed for every 3 cups of red paint to make a batch of orange paint,
So, the ratio of yellow paint and red paint in a batch of orange paint = 2 : 3
Make two number lines,
First one represents the multiple of 2 and second one represents the multiples of 3,
By the double number line ( shown below ),
It is clear that,
For 3 batches of orange paint, 6 cups of yellow paint and 9 cups of red paint are needed.
a) 32.25* 40 = 1290
b) 32.25 (1.5) *12 =580.50
c) 1290+580.50=1870.50
If the null hypothesis,

is rejected, then we can conclude that the correlation coefficient is significant. This means that there is enough evidence to conclude that a relationship exists between the two (or more) variables involved in the regression.
Subtract the 17190 from the 21840. you get 4650. 4650 divided by 21840 is 0.21. The percent decrease is 21%
