Let's review "similar" and "congruent."  "Congruent" means the same--so two congruent line segments will be the same length; two congruent figures have the same angle measures, same side lengths, same area, etc.  "Similar" means that the sides and area are PROPORTIONAL, not the same: you can divide or multiply them all by the same number and get the measures of the other.  Note that the angles must still be the same measures.

So, let's look at A, first comparing AB and CD.  AB is 4 units long, and CD is 2 units long.  4/2=2, so AB is twice the length of CD.  What about BC and DE?  BC=6, and DE=3.  6/3=2.  Since BOTH AB and BC are twice the length of CD and DE, they are proportional.  A is correct!

In B, if side AC has the same slope as side CE, then basically they have the same incline.  They are on the same line, and this line has a slope.  Since they are both on this line, they both must have the same slope as this line, and therefore the same slope as each other.  B is correct.

What about C?  Are the triangles congruent?  NO, because their side lengths are different (though proportional).  C is incorrect.  And D?  Just looking at the diagram, we can tell that AC is not the same length as DE, so they are NOT congruent (though again, they are proportional).  D is incorrect.

Answer: A, B

258,197-64,500 (show me how to round this and I will give brainliest!)
Mars2501 [29]

There are a variety of methods of performing this subtraction, and corresponding different methods of regrouping.

If you're taught (as I was) to do the subtraction right-to-left, then the first regrouping you need to do is when you try to subtract 500 from 100. You must regroup the 8 thousands and 1 hundred to 7 thousands and 11 hundreds. Then, when you subtract 5 hundreds, you end with 7 thousands and 6 hundreds.

The next regrouping you need to do is when you try to subtract 6 ten-thousands from 5 ten-thousands. You must regroup the 2 hundred-thousands and 5 ten-thousands to 1 hundred-thousand and 15 ten-thousands. Then, when you subtract 6 ten-thousands, you end with 1 hundred-thousand and 9 ten-thousands.

The end result is

... 258,197 - 64,500 = 193,697

_____

If you use an abacus or soroban or similar tool to help you keep track of the numbers, you were likely taught to do the subtraction left-to-right. In this case, the first regrouping  comes when you want to subtract 6 ten-thousands. Practitioners of this method know that -6 = -10 +4, so the number represented on the tool becomes (2-1) hundred-thousands and (5+4) ten-thousands plus the rest of the initial number, or 198,197 after subtracting the 6 ten-thousands.

The subtraction proceeds until you find you need to subtract 500 from 100. At this point, the tool is representing the partial result as 194,197. Again, if you practice this method, you know that -5 = -10 +5, so you reduce the thousands digit by 1 (to 3) and add 5 to the hundreds digit to get 193,697.

_____

An attempt is made to show the regroupings in the attachment. In each case there are two of them. However, working left-to-right, the result of the first subtraction of 6 ten-thousands is 19 ten-thousands, so you never actually write down anything else. Of course, if you're using an abacus or soroban, you don't write down anything—you simply change the position of the beads on the tool.

Answer:

See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint will be -> (3, 2)

     We get this from plugging in our numbers (file 2) and solving. You get (6/2, 4/2) which results in (3, 2).

The following probability distributions of job satisfaction scores for a sample of information systems (IS) senior executives an
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate ;

1) the expected value of the job satisfaction score for senior executives ;

expected value = Summation (Px)

= 1 x 0.05 + 2 x 0.09 + 3 x 0.03 + 4 x 0.42 + 5 x 0.41

= 4.05

2) the expected value of the job satisfaction score for middle managers;

= 1 x 0.04 + 2 x 0.10 + 3 x 0.12 + 4 x 0.46 + 5 x 0.28

= 3.84

c) the variance of job satisfaction scores for executives and middle managers (to 2 decimals).

Executives ; Variance = Summation(PX^2 - Summation(PX)^2

i) For Executive Managers = 1 x 0.05 + 2^2 x 0.09 + 3^2 x 0.03 + 4^2 x 0.42 + 5^2 x 0.41 - 4.05^2 = 1.246 = 1.25

ii) for middle managers ; 1 x 0.04 + 2^2 x 0.10 + 3^2 x 0.12 + 4^2 x 0.46 + 5^2 x 0.28 - 3.84^2 = 1.134 = 1.13

d) the standard deviation of job satisfaction scores for both probability distributions (to 2 decimals). Executives, Middle managers;

For Executives = square root [ 1 x 0.05 + 2^2 x 0.09 + 3^2 x 0.03 + 4^2 x 0.42 + 5^2 x 0.41 - 4.05^2] = 1.12

For Middle Managers ; Square root [1 x 0.04 + 2^2 x 0.10 + 3^2 x 0.12 + 4^2 x 0.46 + 5^2 x 0.28 - 3.84^2 ] = 1.06

e) from the values gotten for the variance of both executive and middle managers, the variance of the former is more than that of the latter as such higher satisfaction with the executive managers.
