So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
The answer to this question is y' = 10x^2 + 6. You have to use the power rule to bring the exponent down as a coefficient and then reduce the exponent by 1. Do it for all the terms using the sum rule for derivatives (derivative of a sum of the sum of its derivatives).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways to proceed further.
Option A is with using the random number table.
- Let us assume that each gravestone has a unique number between 1 and 55914.
- Choose a row at random from the table.
- Take the first number consisting of 5 digits, if the number corresponds with a number between 1 and 55914, then select the corresponding plot, otherwise move on to the next 5 digit-number.
Repeat until 395 gravestones have been selected.
Option B is with using any calculator with capability of generating random integer. Here for example consider any TI series programmable calculator.
- Enter the following command into your calculator:
randInt(1,55914,395)
- The first and second number are the lower and upper limits between which the values have to lie.
- The third number is the number of required selections.
The confidence interval is

.
We first find the mean. Add together all of the data points and divide by 6, the number of data points; the mean is 77.28.
Next we find the standard deviation. Find the difference between each data point and the mean; square it; find the sum; divide by the number of data points; take the square root. The standard deviation is 3.32.
To find the margin of error, we calculate the z-score associated with this level of confidence. 100-90 = 10% = 0.1; 0.1/2 = 0.05; 1-0.05 = 0.95. Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is between two scores, 1.64 and 1.65; we will use 1.645.
The margin of error is given by
z * (σ/√n) = 1.645*(3.32/√6) = 2.23.
Thus the confidence interval is 77.28 +/ 2.23.
