1 answer:
Scale factor is a ratio. The correct option is C.
<h3>How are scale drawings formed?</h3>For a particular scale drawing, it is already specified that all the measurements' some constant scaled version will be taken. For example, let the scale be K feet to s inches.
Then it means
All feet measurements will then be multiplied by s/k to get the drawing's corresponding lengths.
The length of AB can be written as,
AB = √[(1-4)²+ (1-1)²]
AB = 3
Since the length A'B' is 6 units, therefore, the scale factor will be,
Scale factor = (Length after transformation)/(Length before transformation)
Scale factor = 6 /3 = 2
Hence, the correct option is C.

Answer:
Option d: n = 36, p = 0.97, x = 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a soup company puts 12 ounces of soup in each can. The company has determined that 97% of can have the correct amount.
We have to describe a binomial experiment that would determine the probability that a case of 36 cans has all cans that are properly filled.
Let X = <u><em>Number of cans that are properly filled</em></u>
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 cans
x = number of success = all cans are properly filled = 36
p = probabilitiy of success which in our question is probability that
can have the correct amount, i.e. p = 97%
So, X ~ Binom (n = 36, p = 0.97)
Hence, from the options given the correct option which describes a binomial experiment that would determine the probability that a case of 36 cans has all cans that are properly filled is n = 36, p = 0.97, x = 36.
