Answer:

Elias is not correct. The new rectangle will be an enlargement because the scale factor is greater than 1. To be a reduction, the scale factor must be between 0 and 1.

No. he isn't correct because the scale factor is an improper fraction. 2/5 means you have 2 out of 5, but if you have 8 out of 3, that means you have 2 3s and 2 more leftover. it wouldn't be a reduction, it'd be increasing!

Which expression shows a way to find 20% of 950?<br> 950<br> 20<br> 20<br> What is it
Komok [63]
To find 20% of 950 you would set it up as a proportion. When doing percentages the prevent is always out of 100 so the first step would be 20/100. You are trying to find a number out of 950 so the second part would be ?/950. Now you want to cross multiply and divide. 20*950=19,000 then you divide it by 100 (your other number) 19,000/100=190. So 20% of 950 is 190.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

D) a chi square test for independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we  suspect that automobile insurance premiums (in dollars) may be steadily decreasing with the driver's driving experience (in years), so we choose a random sample of drivers who have similar automobile insurance coverage and collect data about their ages and insurance premiums.

We are to check whether two variables insurance premiums and driving experience are associated.

Two categorical variables are compared for different ages and insurance premiums.

Hence a proper test would be
