Elias’s teacher has given him a rectangle that is 15 feet by 20 feet. She has asked him to create a new rectangle using a scale

factor of 8/3. Elias says that will be a reduction because the scale factor is a fraction. Is he correct? Explain.

No, as the fraction equates to a whole number. Thus, it would actually be an increase.

Response:

Elias is mistaken. The resulting rectangle will be larger since the scale factor exceeds 1. For it to be a decrease, the scale factor would need to range from 0 to 1.

Roxy has received the following quiz scores so far this year: 75, 88, 90, 96, 98, 100 Which box plot represents this data?
Svet_ta [12734]
75,88,90,96,98,100

minimum = 75
Q1 = 88.....this indicates the start of the box
Q2 (the median) = (90 + 96) / 2 = 186/2 = 93....this signifies the line within the box
Q3 = 98....this indicates the end of the box
maximum = 100
                 
                 88_93______98

A box has 14 camera of which 6 are refurbished and 8 are new. If four of these 14 cameras are selected at random without replace
Leona [12618]

Answer:

160/1001, 175/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

i) We calculate:

₈C₁ methods to select 1 new camera from a selection of 8

₆C₃ methods to select 3 refurbished cameras from a selection of 8

₁₄C₄ methods to select 4 cameras from the total of 14 cameras

The probability formula is:

P = ₈C₁ ₆C₃ / ₁₄C₄

P = 8×20 / 1001

P = 160 / 1001

P ≈ 0.160

ii) For at most one new camera, it means we want either one new camera or none at all. We've calculated the probability of selecting one new camera already. The probability of not selecting any new camera is equivalent to selecting 4 refurbished cameras:

P = ₆C₄ / ₁₄C₄

P = 15 / 1001

Therefore, the combined probability is:

P = 160/1001 + 15/1001

P = 175/1001

P ≈ 0.175

Inessa [12570]

Answer:

La conclusión sobre p utilizando una desigualdad de valor absoluto es

0.325 < p < 0.375

Explicación paso a paso:

Según el enunciado, nos informan que

La proporción de la muestra es \r p = 0.35

El margen de error es E = 0.025

El intervalo de confianza se representa matemáticamente como

\r p -E < p < \r p +E

=> 0.35 - 0.025 < p < 0.35 + 0.025

=> 0.325 < p < 0.375
