My dad heard this story on the radio. At Duke University, two students had received A’s in chemistry all semester. But on the ni

ght before the final exam, they were partying in another state and didn’t get back to Duke until it was over. Their excuse to the professor was that they had a flat tire, and they asked if they could take a make-up test. The professor agreed, wrote out a test and sent the two to separate rooms to take it. The first question (on one side of the paper) was worth 5 points, and they answered it easily. Then they flipped the paper over and found the second question, worth 95 points: ‘Which tire was it?’ What was the probability that both students would say the same thing? My dad and I think it’s 1 in 16. is that right?

Jen has collected information about the students in her class and the month they were born.
IrinaVladis [17]

The true statement about this information is that: A. It is both a relation and a function.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function can be defined as a mathematical expression which can be used to define and represent the relationship that exist between two or more variables in a population.

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that the true statement about this information collected by Jen is that it's both a relation and a function because it indicates a relationship between two variables.

Here are two polygons on a grid.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

For polygon PQRST to be considered a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE, it means every segments of polygon ABCDE were increased proportionally by a scale factor.

The segments in polygon PQRST were not gotten using the same scale factor, hence, it is not a scaled copy of the original polygon, ABCDE.

Segment CD = 2 units, it corresponds to segment RS = 4 units. Scale factor = RS/CD = 4/2 = 2

Segment BC = 1 unit, it corresponds to segment QR = 1 unit. Scale factor = QR/BC = 1/1 = 1 units.

Varying scale factor shows polygon PQRST is not a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE.
