To determine the scale factor that should be used in order to correct the size of the post card, we simply have to divide the original length of the picture which is 4.5 inches by the space available, 1.8 inches. This gives an answer of,
                           scale factor = 4.5 inches / 1.8 inches = 2.5

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of the lenght of a figure compared to the lenght of another figure and it can be used to enlarge or reduce a shape. In this case, as the customer wants to reduce the picture, to calculate the scale factor you have to divide the small length by the big length.

Scale Factor Reduction= Small length /Big length= 1.8/4.5= 0.4

The scale factor is 0.4.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mean is the better method.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to meassure the average height is throught mean. The mean of a sample is the average of that sample's height, and it will be a good estimate for the population's average height.

The mode just finds the most frequent height. Even tough the most frequent height will influence the average height, knowing only what height is the most frequent one doesnt give you enough informtation about how the height is centrally distributed.

As for the median, it is fine to use the median of a sample to estimate the median of the population, but if you use the median to estimate the average height you may have a few issues. For example, if you include babies in your population, the babies will push the average height down a lot and they are far below te median height. This, as a result, will give you a median height of a sample way above the average height of the population, becuase median just weights every person's height the same, while average will weight extreme values more, in the sense that a small proportion of extreme values can push the average far from the median.

The population of a particular city is given by the function P(t) = 27,400(1.07)t, where t is the time in years and P(t) is the
otez555 [7]

Answer:

27,400 is the current population

7% is the rate of increase

The new size is:

  • 38,430 is the population if t is an exponent
  • 146,590 is t is NOT an exponent in the formula you typed

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population in a future year, use the formula:

P(t) = 27,400(1.07)t

Substitute the value t=5 to find the population in 5 years.

P(t) = 27,400(1.07)t\\P(t) = 27,400(1.07)(5)\\P(t) = 146,590


Or if the equation is supposed to have t as an exponent then look below:

P(t) = 27,400(1.07)^t

Substitute the value t=5 to find the population in 5 years.

P(t) = 27,400(1.07)^t\\P(t) = 27,400(1.07)^(5)\\P(t) = 38,430

This formula is based off the standard formula A=A_0(1+r)^t so r, the rate is 1.07=1+0.07 so r is 7%.

A_0 is the starting population which is 27,400 here.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ported that 22% of adults in France admitted to texting or e-mailing while driving. A random sample of 110 French adults was randomly selected. What is the probability that 26

Using a binomial distribution with mean = n*p = 110*0.22 = 24.2 and variance = n*p*(1-p) = 24.2*(1-0.22) = 18.876

Approximating it to a normal distribution,

P(x\geq 26)\\\\=P(Z\geq \frac{26-24.2}{\sqrt{18.876} } )\\\\=P(Z\geq 0.41)\\\\=0.3481

patriot [66]
100-0.0124=99.9876

10%=1/10
1/10P=P(0.999876)^t
divide both sides by P
1/10=0.999876^t
take ln of both sides
ln(1/10)=t (ln(0.999876))
divide both sides by (ln(0.999876))
ln(1/10)/(ln(0.999876))=t
use calculator
18568.08=t
about 18568 years
