kind of urgent!! Please describe a real-world scenario in which it would be important to know how to apply scale factors.

Answers

Answer 1

One example is that you're given blueprints and you want to find out how large the object is in real life, rather than just on paper. The scale factor will help find those real life measurements. Let's say a house on paper is 2 inches long, and also let's say the scale factor is labeled "1 inch = 20 feet". This means the real life house is 2*20 = 40 feet long.

You could think of it as 1 inch = 20 feet, so 2 inches = 40 feet (multiply both sides by 2).

Scale factors are also used in maps. Look at the bottom corner of any map and it will show you how each distance on paper corresponds to a real life distance (in miles or kilometers maybe). Usually it shows a checkered "ruler" of sorts.

Answer 2

Answer:

  everyday living

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factors are involved in virtually every aspect of the logistics of everyday life. Scale factors of number of units, price per unit, and tax rate are applied to every shopping experience. Scale factors of miles per gallon, or daily rate, or number of travelers are applied to most travel experiences. Scale factors of number of people and/or serving size are applied to food planning--even when ordering pizza.

Scale factors are involved in virtually every aspect of engineering, from specifying or estimating a job, to scheduling, material choice, purchase, and application. Sometimes, these are "rules of thumb", and sometimes they are based on careful calculation.

Much of modern technology is based on the observation that computing power doubles every 2 years or so--a scale factor consistently seen for more than 50 years. This has informed systems planning in many different industries.

If the average of 5, 8, b, 9 and 4 is 7. Find the value of b.

A. 9 B. 8 C. 7 D. 5​

Answers

So our set of numbers is  5,8,b,9,4 . And we know the average is 7. So first, you have to add all the numbers in the set : 5+8+9+4 which gives you 26. We also know that to get the average of a set of numbers you have to add all the numbers and divide that sum by the how many numbers you have, in thsi case we have 5 numbers including b . So our equation now is : 26+b÷5=7. And if you plug in 9 for b you get 26+9÷5=7 and 26+9÷5  does equal 7 so therefore A is your answer

when a watch is sold at ksh.126 a loss of x% is made if sold at ksh.154 aprofit of x%is realized .find the buying price​

Answers

Answer:

ksh 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

when a watch is sold at ksh.126 a loss of x%. This can be summarised as follow:

Selling price (Sp) = ksh 126

Percentage loss = x%

Cost price (Cp) =?

Percentage loss = Cp – Sp/Cp x 100

x% = Cp – 126/Cp .......(1)

if sold at ksh.154 a profit of x% is realized. This can be summarised as follow:

Selling price (Sp) = ksh 154

Percentage gain = x%

Cost price (Cp) =?

Percentage gain = Sp – Cp/Cp x 100

x% = 154 – Cp/Cp..... (2)

Equating equation 1 and 2, we have:

x% = Cp – 126/Cp .......(1)

x% = 154 – Cp/Cp..... (2)

Cp – 126/Cp = 154 – Cp/Cp

Cross multiply

Cp(Cp – 126) = Cp(154 – Cp)

Cancel out Cp

Cp – 126 = 154 – Cp

Collect like terms

Cp + Cp = 154 + 126

2Cp = 280

Divide both side by 2

Cp = 280/2

Cp = 140

Therefore, the cost price otherwise known as the buying price is ksh 140.

The Central Limit Theorem says that when sample size n is taken from any population with mean μ and standard deviation σ when n is large, which of the following statements are true? The distribution of the sample mean is approximately Normal. The standard deviation is equal to that of the population. The distribution of the population is exactly Normal. The distribution is biased. A I and II B I only C II and III D I, III, and IV E II only

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. I only

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit theorem states that when adequately large random samples are taken from a population that has a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, the distributions of the sample means of individual samples taken will be more or less (approximately) normally distributed

The central limit theorem is correct for both normal and skewed populations such that estimates can be made about the population mean based on available sample mean information.

Answers

Answer: A. mean: 10, median: 8, mode: none

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of patients treated at Dr. Jason's dentist office each day was recorded for seven days: 3, 8, 11, 22, 17, 5, 4.

First we arrange it order.

3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 17, 22

Mean = (Sum of observations) ÷ (Number of observations)

Number of observations = 7

Sum of observations = 3+4+5+8+11+17+22 =70

Mean = 70 ÷7 = 10

Median = Middle-most value

= 8

Mode = Most repeatted value

= none

Hence, the mean, median, and mode for this sample = A. mean: 10, median: 8, mode: none

Find the missing the side of the triangle A. 130−−−√ m B. 179−−−√ m C. 42–√ m D. 211−−−√ m

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use the Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side

Using the Pythagoras theorem

That's

[tex] {a}^{2} = {b}^{2} + {c}^{2} [/tex]

From the question

x is the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle

Substituting the values into the above formula we have

[tex] {x}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {7}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} = 81 + 49[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} = 130[/tex]

Find the square root of both sides

We have the final answer as

x = √130 m

In a previous​ poll, ​% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose​ that, in a more recent​ poll, of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has​ decreased? Use the significance level.

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has​ decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is: In a previous​ poll, ​46% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose​ that, in a more recent​ poll, 480 of 1081 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has​ decreased? Use the [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 0.10 significance level.

Let p = population proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week.

So, Null Hypothesis, : p 46%      {means that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has increased or remains same}

Alternate Hypothesis, : p < 46%      {means that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has​ decreased}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;

                             T.S.  =    ~  N(0,1)

where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of families = [tex]\frac{480}{1081}[/tex] = 0.44

           n = sample of adults with children under the age of 18 = 1081

So, the test statistics =    

                                   =  -1.32

The value of z-statistics is -1.32.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                    P-value = P(Z < -1.32) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.32)

                                  = 1 - 0.9066 = 0.0934

Since the P-value of our test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.0934 < 0.10, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has​ decreased.

Answers

Answer:

AC = 4.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle ABC,

Segment AD is the angle bisector of ∠BAC.

m∠CAD = m∠BAD = θ

By applying angle bisector theorem in ΔABC,

An angle bisector of the interior angle in a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other two sides.

[tex]\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{BD}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{CD}}[/tex]

By substituting measures of the given sides,

[tex]\frac{6.8}{3.8}=\frac{\text{AC}}{2.5}[/tex]

AC = [tex]\frac{6.8\times 2.5}{3.8}[/tex]

AC = 4.473

AC ≈ 4.5 units

Therefore, measure of the missing side AC will be 4.5 units.

What is laws of sines?

The law of sines specifies how many sides there are in a triangle and how their individual sine angles are equal. The sine law, sine rule, and sine formula are additional names for the sine law.

The side or unknown angle of an oblique triangle is found using the law of sine. Any triangle that is not a right triangle is referred to as an oblique triangle. At least two angles and their corresponding side measurements should be used at once for the sine law to function.

Given distance from C to A = 100 miles north

From B to A ship travels 60° east of north,

and From B to C 45° west of south,

the figure for problem is attached,

from figure we can  calculate the angles of A, B and C

so ∠A makes supplementary with 60°

∠A + 60° = 180°

∠A = 120°

for ∠B we need to draw an imaginary perpendicular on the line extending from A, we get

∠B + 45° + 30° = 90° (30° is angle of imaginary right triangle)

∠B = 90 - 75 = 15°

and ∠C can be found by,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠C = 180 - 15 - 120

∠C = 45°

now use sine formula for triangles,

sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c

where A, B and C are angles of triangle and a, b and c are length of opposite side of angle A, B and C respectively.

a = BC, b = AC, and c = AB

so

sinA/BC = sinB/AC = sinC/AB

we have AC = 100 miles

substitute the values

sinC/AB = sinB/AC

sin(45)/AB = sin(15)/100

AB = 100/(√2sin(15))

AB = 100/0.3659

AB = 273.298 miles

and sinA/BC = sinB/AC

BC = AC sinA/sinB

BC = 100(sin 120/sin15)

BC = 100(0.866/0.2588)

BC = 100 x 3.3462

BC = 334.62 miles

total distance = AB + BC + AC

total distance = 334.62 + 273.2 + 100

total distance =  707.82 miles

Hence the distance from A to B is 273.2 miles and total distance is 707.82 miles.
