Given a dilation around the origin, what is the scale factor K? Do, K = (20,16) → (-5,-4)

Mathematics

Rudik [331]3 years ago

Answer:

Scale factor, K = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation of any image changes its size and the shape remains same.

The scale factor is the ratio of dilated image to original image.

Dilation rule: (x, y) → (kx, ky), where k is the scale factor.

It means k = x₂/x₁ or y₂/y₁

K = -5/20 = -1/4 or K = -4/16 = -1/4.

<u>The negative value of scale factor (K) indicates dilations with 180 degree rotation of the dilated image.</u>

Hence the scale factor is K = -1/4.

A ski gondola carries skiers to the top of a mountain. assume that weights of skiers are normally distributed with a mean of 199
Allushta [10]
A) maximum mean weight of passengers = <span>load limit ÷ number of passengers
</span><span>
maximum mean weight of passengers = 3750 </span>÷ 25 = <span>150lb

</span>B)  First, find the z-score:
z = (value - mean) / stdev
   = (150 - 199) / 41
   = -1.20

We need to find P(z > -1.20) = 1 - P(z < -1.20)

Now, look at a standard normal table to find <span>P(z < -1.20) = 0.11507, therefore:
</span>P(z > -1.20) = 1 - <span>0.11507 = 0.8849

Hence, <span>the probability that the mean weight of 25 randomly selected skiers exceeds 150lb is about 88.5%</span> </span>

C) With only 20 passengers, the new maximum mean weight of passengers = 3750 ÷ 20 = <span>187.5lb

Let's repeat the steps of point B)

z = (187.5 - 199) / 41
   = -0.29

P(z > -0.29) = 1 - P(z < -0.29) = 1 - 0.3859 = 0.6141

</span>Hence, <span>the probability that the mean weight of 20 randomly selected skiers exceeds 187.5lb is about 61.4%

D) The mean weight of skiers is 199lb, therefore:
number</span> of passengers = <span>load limit ÷ <span>mean weight of passengers
                                     = 3750 </span></span><span>÷ 199
                                     = 18.8
The new capacity of 20 skiers is safer than 25 skiers, but we cannot consider it safe enough, since the maximum capacity should be of 18 skiers.</span>
