Answer:

  1/2 + 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

  2/3 = 1/2 + 1/6

__

The sum of unit fractions is called an Egyptian Fraction. There are several different algorithms for finding such a sum. Here, we are starting with the form ...

  2/p

where p is a small prime. Then the sum can be written as ...

  1/((p+1)/2) +1/(p(p+1)/2) = 1/(4/2) +1/(3(4/2)) = 1/2 + 1/6

A different algorithm is used when p is a composite number.

__

Using the "greedy" algorithm, we can find the largest unit fraction less than 2/3 to be ...

  1/ceil(3/2) = 1/2

Then the largest unit fraction in the remainder is similarly found. The remainder is ...

  2/3 -1/2 = 1/6 . . . . already a unit fraction

So, the sum is ...

  2/3 = 1/2 + 1/6

A screening test for a disease shows a positive result in 91% of all cases when the disease is actually present and in 7% of all cases when it is not. Assume that the prevalence of the disease is 1 in 650. If the test is administered to a randomly chosen individual, what is the probability that the result is positive

Answers

Answer:

0.0713 = 7.13% probability that the result is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a positive test:

91% of 1/650(has the disease).

7% of 1 - 1/650 = 649/650(does not have the disease). So

[tex]p = 0.91\frac{1}{650} + 0.07\frac{649}{650} = \frac{0.91 + 0.07*649}{650} = 0.0713[/tex]

0.0713 = 7.13% probability that the result is positive.

Solving a word problem involving rates and time conversion
A car travels at an average speed of 52 miles per hour. How long does it take to travel 247 miles?

Answers

Answer:

It takes 4.75 hours(4 hours and 45 minutes) to travel 247 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by rates, using a rule of three.

52 miles in one hour. How many hours for 247 miles?

1 hour - 52 miles

x hours - 247 miles

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]52x = 247[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{247}{52}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4.75[/tex]

It takes 4.75 hours = 4 hours and 3/4*60 = 45 minutes to travel 247 miles.

What percentage of the individuals rode the Ferris wheel and did not ride the roller coaster?

Answers

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

they both make srnse to me

The required percentage of individuals is 66.07%.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a value that indicates 100th part of any quantity.

A percentage can be converted into a fraction or a decimal by dividing it by 100.

The required data from the given table is as follows,

The total number of individuals is 112.

The number of individuals who ride Ferris wheel but not roller coaster is 74.

As per the question the percentage can be found as below,

Required percent = (The required number ÷ Total number) × 100

                              = (74 ÷ 112) × 100%

                               = 66.07%

Hence, the percentage of the individuals rode the Ferris wheel and did not ride the roller coaster is  66.07%.

Elena is conducting an experiment to determine if the high school students are more relaxed when the lights are off or when music is played during an exam. She selects 10 of her friends to take an exam with the lights off and another 10 of her friends to take an exam with music playing.

Required:
What is problematic about the way that Elena selected her groups?

Answers

Answer:

Problematic is that - only one factor should be analysed at a time. However she has considered both.

Step-by-step explanation:

Groups for any experimental study should be selected on the basis of one variable, other factor(s) remaining constant.

In this case, here are two variables - lights on or off, music playing or not playing - effecting relax level during exams.

She selects 10 students for exam with lights off , 10 for exam without music. This is problematic, as at once only lights or only music factor should be considered.

If one group is with light on , other should be with light off. If one group is with music, other should be without music. This mix up of one light off aspect & one music without music is inapt.

which is the best estimate of 5 5/6 - (1 1/4 + 3 7/8)​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Best estimate' doesn't happen automaticallly, because you have to define "best" in this context.  We could merely round all numbers and work with the results:  

For example, starting with the work inside parentheses, we have:

5 5/6 - (1 + 4) = 5 5/6 - 5.  We must round 5 5/6 up to 6.  Then the "best estimate' is 6 - 5, or just 1.

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

Given that the expression is 5⁵/₆ - (1¹/₄ + 3⁷/₈)​. The value of the expression will be calculated as:-

E =  5⁵/₆ - (1¹/₄ + 3⁷/₈)

E = 35 / 6 - [ 5 / 4 - 34 / 8 ]

E = 35 / 6 - [ ( 10 + 31 ) / 8 ]

E = 35 / 6 - 41 / 8

E = ( 140 - 123 ) / 8

E = 17 / 21

Hence, the solution of the expression is 17 / 21.

Assume that the GMAT scores across the U.S. follow a bell shaped distribution (symmetric and unimodal) with mean 549 and standard deviation 76. Use the Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7 rule) to answer the following question: What is the GMAT score corresponding to the 16th percentile

Answers

Answer:

The GMAT score corresponding to the 16th percentile is 473.

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule.

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

68% of the measures within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

This means that they are between the 50 - (68/2) = 50 - 34 = 16th percentile(one standard deviation below the mean) and the 50 + (68/2) = 50 + 34 = 84th percentile(one standard deviation above the mean).

In this question:

Mean of 549, standard deviation of 76.

16th percentile:

One standard deviation below the mean, so 549 - 76 = 473.

The GMAT score corresponding to the 16th percentile is 473.

in a group of 35 children, 10 have blonde hair, 14 have brown eyes, and 4 have both blonde hair and brown eyes. if a child is selected at random, find the probability that the child has blonde hair or brown eyes

Answers

[tex] \frac{14}{35} + \frac{10}{35} - \frac{4}{35} = \frac{4}{7} [/tex]

The solution is, 4/7 is the probability that the child has blonde hair or brown eyes.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

here, we have,

given that,

in a group of 35 children, 10 have blonde hair, 14 have brown eyes, and 4 have both blonde hair and brown eyes.

let, the event be A,

i.e. A = if a child is selected at random, that child has blonde hair or brown eyes.

now, we have,

total no of sample space = 35

probability of blonde hair = 10/ 35

probability of brown eyes = 14/35

probability of both blonde hair and brown eyes = 4/35

so, we get,

probability of  blonde hair or brown eyes = 14/ 35 + 10/ 35 - 4/35

                                                                    = 20 / 35

                                                                    = 4/7

Hence, The solution is, 4/7 is the probability that the child has blonde hair or brown eyes.

Write the equation of the line that passes through
the points (-1,2) and (6, 3) in slope-intercept form

Answers

so if we’re trying to get to y = mx + b we first have to find the slope using the two points using the formula :

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

x1 = 6
x2 = -1
y1 = 2
y2 = 3

m = 3 - 2/6 +1
m = 1/7

from this point we now have y = 1/7x + b
all we now need is “b” (intercept) and to find that we’ll plug in one of our given points and solve for b.

3 = 1/7(6) + b
b = 2.14

with the slope and the intercept we have our answer :

y = 1/7x + 2.14
