the Answer:
Notice that the "image" triangles are on the opposite side of the center of the dilation (vertices are on opposite side of O from the preimage). Also, notice that the triangles have been rotated 180º.
Step-by-step explanation:
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original but is a different size. The description of a dilation includes the scale factor (constant of dilation) and the center of the dilation. The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane about which all points are expanded or contracted. The center is the only invariant (not changing) point under a dilation (k ≠1), and may be located inside, outside, or on a figure.
Note:
A dilation is NOT referred to as a rigid transformation (or isometry) because the image is NOT necessarily the same size as the pre-image (and rigid transformations preserve length).
What happens when scale factor k is a negative value?
If the value of scale factor k is negative, the dilation takes place in the opposite direction from the center of dilation on the same straight line containing the center and the pre-image point. (This "opposite" placement may be referred to as being a " directed segment" since it has the property of being located in a specific "direction" in relation to the center of dilation.)
Let's see how a negative dilation affects a triangle:
Notice that the "image" triangles are on the opposite side of the center of the dilation (vertices are on opposite side of O from the preimage). Also, notice that the triangles have been rotated 180º.
Answer:
(a) P (Y = 3) = 0.0844, P (Y ≤ 3) = 0.8780
(b) The probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is 0.2064.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>Y</em> is defined as the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains below a critical value <em>y₀</em>.
The random variable <em>Y</em> follows a Geometric distribution with parameter <em>p</em> = 0.409<em>.</em>
The probability mass function of a Geometric distribution is:
(a)
Compute the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals as follows:
Thus, the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals is 0.0844.
Compute the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals as follows:
P (Y ≤ 3) = P (Y = 0) + P (Y = 1) + P (Y = 2) + P (Y = 3)
Thus, the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals is 0.8780.
(b)
Compute the mean of the random variable <em>Y</em> as follows:
Compute the standard deviation of the random variable <em>Y</em> as follows:
The probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is:
P (Y ≥ μ + σ) = P (Y ≥ 1.445 + 1.88)
= P (Y ≥ 3.325)
= P (Y ≥ 3)
= 1 - P (Y < 3)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2)
Thus, the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is 0.2064.
