Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the amount of paint,you will have to deduct the number of paint she used to start minus the amount of of gallon she finished with.

5/6-1/2

L.C.M

10-6/12

4/12

=1/3

-2 = g - 9 solve equation

jekas [21]

OK. Hold on tight. Here we go.
Remember ... the "solution" is the number that 'g' must be
in order to make the equation a true statement.

The original equation: You said that -2 = g - 9

Now, let's add 9 to each side: 7 = g .

Yo! Solving linear equations with integers! These are just some practice exercises I need help with! So they should probably be

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solving linear equation with one variable:</h3>

1) -4 + 3x = 4x - 8

Add 4 to both sides

-4 + 3x + 4 = 4x - 8 + 4

3x = 4x - 4

Subtract 4x from both sides,

3x - 4x = -4x + 4x - 4

-x = -4

$\sf \boxed{\bf x = 4}$

2) -5x - 8 = 2

Add 8 to both sides

-5x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

-5x = 10

Divide both sides by (-5)

$\sf \dfrac{-5}{-5}x =\dfrac{10}{-5}$

$\sf \boxed{\bf x = -2}$

3) 12r - 14 = 5(2-r)

12r - 14 = 5*2 - 5*r

12r - 14 = 10 - 5r

Add 14 to both sides

12r - 14 + 14 = 10 - 5r + 14

12r = 24 - 5r

Add 5r to both sides

12r + 5r = 24

17r = 24

Divide both sides by 17

r = 24/17

4) 3x - 8 = -(17 + 2x)

3x - 8 = -17 - 2x

Add 8 to both sides

3x - 8 + 8 = -17 - 2x + 8

3x = -9 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

3x + 2x = -9

5x = -9

Divide both sides by 5

$\sf \dfrac{5}{5}x=\dfrac{-9}{5}\\\\\boxed{x = \dfrac{-9}{5}}$

Describe 2 different ways7/3 as a mixed number

topjm [15]

Well, you can do it these two methods⬇

1) ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
2 and 1/3 (which is also written as 2 1/3)
⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
Theres only one way, but if you're putting it as a decimal then you just divide 7 from 3 to get your answer
⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆

•So, 7 ÷ 3 = 2.3
•And 2(3) + 1 = 7 / 3 (if that makes sense)

Consider the question of whether the home team wins more than half of its games in the National Basketball Association. Suppose

spayn [35]

Answer:

0.0037 = 0.37% probability that the home team would win 65% or more of its games in a simple random sample of 80 games

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
